While aluminum’s thermal expansion coefficient makes it tempting, I probably wouldn’t recommend heating that crank arm. It’s Shimano’s first generation hollow design and I would be concerned about weakening the bond that holds it together. For a solid, non-heat treated crank arm, I would be less concerned about heating it.
