Need an idiot's guide

Need to adjust my sight. It s pretty solid in there. I saw on another thread about heating it with a torch, but I don't quite understand it.

It takes a lot of force. In one post, I believe it said to freeze the punch you are going to use. Then lightly heat the surrounding area of the frame around the sight. Hold the frozen punch against the sight for a few minutes in an attempt to "contract" the metal while the metal around the sight is "expanded" from the heat. Supposedly it will work. On mine, I lightly heated it with a torch and whacked the heck out of the rear sight with a brass punch until I persuaded it to move.
