That reminds me of a story.

When I worked as a mechanic I worked on a lot most all of the local
fireman's car. Well there was one guy who was a big pain in the butt. One
night he brought his camaro by after work and wanted the steering box
replaced. Since I was young and had nothing better to do I started the job. 

Well I could not get the pitman arm off the steering box to save my life
(new one did not have pitman arm). So I put the puller on the pitman arm and
then heated up the pitman arm glowing red. A few taps with hammer and it hit
the floor. All the while this fireman was standing next to me watching. So
the first thing he does is reach down and pick up the pitman arm. Then he
starts cursing at me telling me that I did not tell him it was hot. I looked
at him and said, you're a fireman, you saw it glowing red.

        The nut probably would have come loose if you attacked it while  
still cherry-red.
