Propane Gas Torch - heating seized bolts
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2023 7:56 pm
Helping my son sort his car renewing a rear subframe.
Some of the suspension and driveshaft bolts are tight and corroded. Despite using Release oil soaking over a few days, they will not budge and one sheared using a plumbers torch to heat the area around the threads and apply release oil as cooling to draw the release oil.
Previously I would have access to a welding torch for problems as this applying greater heat and more confined to the area of the bolt/threads etc. to break the corrosion.
Is there a Propane gas torch that can offer near the same as a gas welding torch.
