Title: Need to borrow a heat gun
Post by: Fierofool on November 03, 2021, 03:21:38 pm: I need to replace a throttle position sensor and the screws have been installed with a thread locker. It requires at least 130 degrees to break the threadlocker. Does anyone have a heat gun I can borrow for a few days?

I have an electric heat gun as well as a propane torch. I can bring them to the meet along with the springs you were asking for. Whatever ya need and works for you!

Then I'll have to be sure there's a day or two of no rain so I can drive the Fiero in the event I run into problems.

Post by: TopNotch on November 07, 2021, 06:15:01 pm: The wattage isn't on the label, but it gets pretty hot. It's a Black and Decker model 9751 Heat and Strip gun. Not made anymore, but their current model is 1300 watts. I'll put it in my car so I won't forget it.
