Heat it with a propane torch. That will melt the loctite on the bolt. Then run a bottoming tap on the inside threads to make sure all the residual loctite is gone. I have heard of people not running a tap it the threads only to think they have the bolt torqued to specs after the new install only to find out they were binding on residual loctite in the internal threads.

Finally got it with a breaker bar. I tried heating it up, tightening and then loosening and nothing. With the breaker bar, that bolt was making creaking noises. Beyond me why it needs to be that tight.

Make sure you use a New Bolt and as stated before use a bottoming thread chaser and clean it out real well with brake parts cleaner or something that will evaporate. And if you thought it was creaking when you loosened it. Wait to you hear the creaks when you tighten it.

I've installed a number of compensators and have to agree with the reply from elderjim.
