I'm trying to get the handwheel off my BT3000.
The hex socket head bolt that holds the wheel on is stuck.
Did they use a thread-locker (like loc-tite blue) at the factory?
When I really try to crank on it I can't hold the wheel enough to counteract the torque and i'm afraid something is going to break.
Is this a job for an impact driver? or how would you get it off. Folklore says to heat the bolt with a torch but that seems like an invitation to melt something (handwheel of course is plastic).
