Heat might help. But honestly. I’ve spun nuts off that had red loctite without heat. Just use more power!

The idea of a torque stick is so you don’t over torque with an impact gun. And they are not to be used for the final torque. The wheels must be torqued by hand after. It would be irresponsible not to check by hand after.

Technically, everytime you tighten something you are torquing it. Whether it’s with a torque wrench or by feel. So yes, torquing bolts is important.
