Default cam change

Getting ready to swap out cams and the manual says may need to apply heat to camshaft sprocket bolt and crankshaft sprocket bolt to loosen up thread locker. Watched some videos of cam changes and never seen anyone use heat. To those that have changed your cams, did you all use heat to loosen thread locker?
