yeah I tried the propane torch and it heats the area around the bushing as well. I am only applying enough to heat to smoke the penetrant so as not to over heat. I think I will heat and cool, heat and cool a few cycles and then get back on the torque.

I am a big guy and don't feel it is even close to moving yet.

BTW a modified small pair of channel locks works great at cocking/uncocking the hammers on the removed side locks.
