More than once I have seen people having problems making thread lock turn loose in areas that flame would damage parts near the area that needs heat. Here's how you do that without burning up seals an engines and maybe useful in some other areas.

A good old fashioned steam pot, like a teapot. They are cheap to buy, not too hard to find and you just get them steaming as hot as you need. Since the steam coming out is forced small spout area, you can pretty much direct the heat where you want it. Use some type of protection over your hands and leave the teapot boiling on the heat. This would be really hard to make it hot enough to burn the parts and quite easily get it hot enough to make the thread locker turn loose.
