Congrats...
Having had to deal with the caliper attachment bolts on my jeep with a similar situation, so thought I'd throw out my solution....
Turn the steering so the caliper bolt faces outward...get a 3/4 ID, 4' long cast iron pipe from the local hardware store. Flatten the one end a bit so it slips over the handle of the ratchet wrench. Go to the end of the cast iron extension pipe and SLIGHTLY tighten the bolt, then rotate the other way to loosen. Physics works wonders.
OTOH, there may be TOO much locktite....heat with a torch and still use the 4' breaker bar.
I used a 4' bar because that was the only size available at the time...anything that is at least 2' long will help-you will just need more 'umph' with a shorter bar.
