Do you have to use a heat source on the locktite nut? Other DIYs for this rear brake light mention a blow torch to melt it, while in this one you didnt use it. Do you just have to be careful and slow or do you HAVE TO use a heat source?

I have read all variations on the nut/bolt scenarios, some came loose carefully and easily, some had to heat a little (be careful the bumper is plastic and you're close to a lot of gasoline)! I had to use a dremel tool to cut the nut off of one of my bolts on the stock light.
