Oh ya, another thing I do...taught to me by folks smarter than me... i take my impact socket, the end that accepts the nut, and i put it on a disc sander and just take the taper out of the business end of it. If ya look into the socket you will see a slight taper that helps to slide on nuts and bolts and such. Taking this taper out will help put a better grip if you will on the compensator nut which in most cases has already been abused and are not very deep as it is
