Check your other thread. I was in the same situation a couple years ago. The Loctite didn't respond to heat because there isn't any. You need a good hold down tool and a 5 foot cheater bar! I started with a 4 foot bar, and it wouldn't budge. It's a standard right handed thread. I bought a new impact wrench rated for 600 ft-lbs and it wouldnt' budge the bolt. A 600 ft-lb impact wrench is not the same as 600 ft-lbs of constant torque.

Repeat, get a really long cheater bar! That's how they do these at the dealer. Have a couple beers when you're done.
