Solink Motor Pinion stuck - any ideas?

[pyromancer6]

Hi,

Been finally getting around to doing a build of mine I've had parts bought for ages at this point and it's been ground to a very annoying halt - the Solink Lite 28k that I bought a while back has the 1.3 allen on so tight that I can't get it off, even with heat. I know I'm going to have to get a pinion puller regardless but I'm assuming because of use (I let my mate use it while my build was on the backburner in his stock G&G MP5SD) it's glued itself on because of the combination of the red threadlocker they use + the carbon from firing. Any ideas on getting this thing off? Boiling water? (not the entire motor obviously, just the pinion)

I had a pinion stuck on a motor and I held my soldering iron on the end to heat it up and managed to loosen it off

 

probably not the best idea in hindsight but it worked and the motor was fine

Had a persistently stubborn pinion before. Ended up using a butane torch on it. Heated it for about two minutes to get the Threadlock off.  

 

It can be a very annoying process.
