Recently posted a question about the HD3 Allis track tightening assembly. Pinball suggested heating the yoke with a torch. I found a reasonably priced propane torch on Harbor Freight and purchased it. Question is, do you think 500,000 BTU will heat the threaded yoke enough to loosen the mechanism? The torch has a high output trigger which will hopefully do the trick. Pinball also suggested candle wax in conjunction with the torch. I will try this. As far as a (beer), I mean thread chaser why not muriatic acid as a rust cleaner. May have trouble finding a 1.5 inch chaser. Any and all thoughts welcome.
