If I heated this bolt with an induction tool would it come off without rounding what’s left of it?
Tried to do a “simple” flat washer replacement but can’t get the top part of the bib off. Heated it with a cigar torch but it wouldn’t get red hot before the lighter got too hot to touch. Would an induction heater get it hot enough to remove without completely rounding it off? I want the tool anyway but wondering if it would work for this. About to sell the home so don’t want to do too much. Pipe is pex and looks like it runs through the sill plate from the crawl space so I don’t even know how I’d hold it in place while trying to unscrew the bib if I wanted to replace it.
