Don't forget, when you get it to break torque, if it's still tight don't spin the wrench around getting it off. Turn it so a ratchet will click a few times and relieve so of the stress that's on it.
Heat treating does work pretty good in most cases. Reminds me of this one time we had to pull a brake sleeve off an axle on the landing gear. So we put an H-1 (heater unit) on it for 2 hours to expand the sleeve. The puller you use come in 5 pieces. Two half-moon shapes for each end, and six rods that connect the two ends. Ok, that's like 10 pieces. Anyhow, when it came time to turn the puller that sleeve was on so tight, we actually ripped the threads off of the puller itself. Guess it didn't help we had a 4-foot long breaker bar with an extra 5-foot pipe for leverage. Nine feet of leveragecan break just about anything.
