Glad that tool is working out for people!

This is a great write-up with many helpful tips. I am replacing my accumulators on my 2002 LX and have the rears off (via the fan clutch wrench). The fronts are harder and I’ve soaked them the penetrating oil. My question is can I use an induction coil heater on the threads? I use it often on stuck nuts and bolts but am unsure about the globe. It resembles a bomb so I want to be sure I can heat it up without concern…
Thoughts??

Thanks in advance!
