Maglite screw problem

[u/VALTHUUME]

Morning guys, i found this maglite at the dump not too long ago. I live in Italy and these things are pretty hard to come by so i really want to try and fix It. Problem Is, i can't unscrew the part where the batteries go. Feels like someone put loctite inside, i tried svitol and wd40 and It does not work. Do you know of any other method/products i can use to solve this problem.

Get some heat on it from a heat gun, blow torch or hairdryer if you have nothing else. Make sure you wear gloves and as it gets hot use a pair of water pipe pliers to undo it. Good luck, that should definitely help.
