Absolutely cannot get compensator nut off
What does one do when there is absolutely no movement in the compensator nut? The previous owner (an IDIOT) used a brass washer behind the nut, and it has dished inward, causing an absolute lock. So far, Ive applied all the heat I have access to (propane and MAPP), used two different impact guns at 150psi, and put everything I have on it with a 4ft breaker. So far, all Ive got to show for it is a broken breaker bar. Im at my wits end. Literally no clue where to go next. Because I know youll ask, yes I have been turning it the right way. Any tips here?

I doubt this, since Ive tried with and without heat. Ill call up a heavy duty diesel shop or something, see if they cant give it the beans for me.

Maybe the socket can't get a good bite because of the washer. I would try a 3ft pipe wrench and smack it with a long sledge hammer. Of course I have friends who are plumbers who work industrial and have large wrenches. Good luck!
