Do it as quickly as possible to get as little heat transfer to the

(relatively) non-volatile lubricant first.

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.

WD-40 is NOT anywheres near "non volatile" basically kerosene, it burns
quite well.

It flashes w/ the torch and works quite nicely for the purpose...

I never said anything other than it works as a wetting agent and tends
to (it appears from many trials) to help in getting dirt out of ag
splines like the aforementioned PTO shaft subject thread. It's not for
any long term lubrication for the application.
