turbo nuts

[Ameer Antar]

   I got 'em red hot, but it still was stuck right to the stud. I used an oxy-propane setup BTW. I think the heat weakened the stud cuz it broke right below the nut, even though the stud never got red hot, like the nut. Weird... so now I'm hesitant to use that much heat...

   how hot did you get them?
     
   
   I had problems with one of the nuts that held on tothe EM.
     
   
   took a MAPP gas torch to it severaltimes
     
   
   finaly got pissed and held it on the nut for a good5 min, you could actually see the nut glowing in the day light it was so hot,came off like it was brand new coated with grease.
     
   
   Dont be afraid to get that nut toohot.
