I certainly would prefer to use FAST (Impact) rather than slow force on this type thing...also, Kroil is a good prep... but won't help if the locktite is in good shape..
and I use a rolled sheet or two through the steering wheel (one each direction holding the spokes of the wheel ) to the door on the other side to hold it gently... blue locktite should not put much actual additional force requirement into this equation.. now RED... that would be different on a large nut or bolt ... but on a small bolt even red bearing and stud locktite only adds about five ft lbs of torque to getting it loose... and often that will be less than if the nut or bolt had been there rusting in place instead...
Locktite's main advantage is that unlike a lock washer.. which has no effect after part of a turn in the undoing direction... Locktite continues to work against vibration loosening .. all the time those coated threads are in contact.......
