He meant the pan, as that's what you want to heat.

Default ha ha, did you at least get it off?

Here is what happened to mine after a huge breaker bar, 2 impact guns, welding a fitting on there and lastly drilling the middle out. It finally came off though, once the head was drilled out all the torque broke loose and it threaded right out.

I now use a torque wrench for most everything.
