well i actually took a small hammer and tapped at the end of the allen wrench. not hard, but enough to break it loose. when i noticed how easy it was to break free, i loosened the other side by hand. so there shouldnt be any need for a cheater bar.

as for the loc-tite comment, its more of peace of mind than anything, the stock bolts didnt have them on it, so i didnt think there was any need for there to be some on the new ones
