Lock tite on bolt, have to remove....
I've got an engine with a crank pulley that I need to pull off. However, red lock tite was used on the big crank pulley bolt and won't bust loose with just hand tools.
I've been told that you need heat to get lock tite to let go. Can I use one of those disposeable MAPP Gas cylinders, or do you think it won't be hot enough?

Whenever I find a bolt with locktite on it I just get a big reaker bar to gain more leverage and it breaks loose

Yes, you need heat for red loctite. A simple propane torch is good enough, MAPP will DEFINITELY work.
