Rick use a short ringy and hit it with a hammer, works every time, if you want to torque it back up to spec you will need an adaptor, buy one or make one or ft it.

when i want to loosen softail shock bolts / nuts i take th bike out beside th shed & lean it against a small embankment on a slight angle to give easy access, then swap around to do loosen other side, then wheel back in & onto lift to take off completely......easy & safer

I would be real careful on where you use the loktite on that job mate.  

It was adjusted too low when I bought the bike. It was hitting the bump stops all the way from Newcastle to Wollongong . I thought that was just how they are but after a couple of weeks of smashing my spine into the ground  I decided to lift it .  Best thing I ever done.

For next time u can get a special spanner(tool) which makes it a lot easier
