Heat it up quickly with an oxy-acetylene torch with a rose-bud tip if =
you have that type of a set-up. A smaller MAPP gas torch may work but =
I've never used one of those. A carbon arc torch connected to a stick =
welder is another possibility. Also, you may rather try an induction =
coil heater. Don't know if those are available for rent or not. The good =
thing is you have nothing around that stud to catch fire.
