What is the best way to heat the set screw on the clutch wiegh to unlock the locktite I heard a heat gun but was thinking a torch. I don't want to over heat the clutch or brake of the allen key.

Small pencil torch works really well.

I use a regular size torch and put the hex wrench in the set screw. Heat the hex wrench and the heat transfers to the weight. Works good if all you have is a regular size torch

It requires little heat to release loc-tite, the amount you will be putting on will hardly heat up any clutch parts or even damange any bushings.
We doit every day almost with a regular propane torch and in all the years never damanged anything..........JUST DOIT....ya be smart about it.
A tip....don't heat the screw it self but heat the metal where it is threaded and apply some turning torque to the screw to remove while heating.

Having a magnetic tray near by for the set screws is big must as well. Pain in the arse losing them on a dirty shop floor lol
