moving the brake on my 97K?

Hey guys, a while back i remember reading a post on here that was from IIRC paul bishop about the work he had dont to his 97K. one of the things that interested me was he wrote that he moved the brake forward about a 1/16" to make less resistance when locking or unlocking the underleaver. That idea really appealed to me since thats the only minor thin that bugs me bout my rifle. if i want to do this do i just carefully heat it with a torch? Im guessing that its held in place with something like jb weld or locktite etc. This gun is absolutly to die for. i thinks its the one i will never let go of and if i can make it just that little bit sweeter then giddy up lol thanks again
