No, well, I thought it was for clean up of threads when removing bolts with LocTite. The expanding/collapsing boot on the caliber bolts is really close, same for the CV boot, both are really close and could melt or catch fire from the torch. If If doubled up some aluminum foil and wrapped or shielded the rubber is that enough protection?
Up date: I got one bolt out, one to go before I start on the 4 smaller bolts on the backside that holds the hub. Then the last one is the big nut in the front (center).
Can you purchase those little accordion type rubber boots for the caliper? I attempted to pull on them and no go, are they made to be replaceable? I don’t want to add to the situation.
Just for that last bolt I have to run out to the hardware store and hopefully find a section of pipe that will fit over the non ratchet socket bar for extended leverage.
ps, my impact gun appears too weak. Anybody see electric or battery impacts that are high torque And wont break the bank?
