Default for those of you who use a torch to help free stuck bolts...

Considering that the prolly is some grease or oil on those bolts already, how do you make sure that all of the grease/oil is gone before you torch it?

Brake cleaner will work wonders. However I usually spray the bolts with PB Blaster and than torch it so the bolts light on fire for a while.

i am not concerned about grease already on the bolts. if there was sufficient grease on the bolts i wouldnt have to torch it.
