[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 214828, member: 2011"] NesikaChad, Sure wished this subject would have appeared a month or so ago.:mad: I used "none" of your hints. I did the typical Idaho Red Neck thing. Just put a cheater on the solid socket wrench handle. Now I know what a bread stick wrench looks like.:o It came of with one hell of a snap. I wasn't sure what had broken. Thankfully nothing had broken. Was greatly worriied that action may have been twisted. I took it to a machinist for evaluation. After much fiddling it was determined to be in fine shape. Wheewe.................... Ol' Mike: nothing you're gonna do with what you currently will do the job. After you've taken the pipe handle off of the Handyman jack and have it way out on the handle end and are bearing down on it and she finally goes "SNAP" you'll all of a sudden feel like someone launched a zucchini up your butt. The "pucker factor" is phenomenal.:eek: I have a good barrel vice with lead inserts that worked for me in the above scenario. If you really want the action off the barrel I'll send you the vise. I also have a wrench that fits in up front at the locking lugs but it is aluminum and not adequate for anything other that a switch barrel arrangement. I'd be willing to send my bread twist wrench but I don't recommend using it only after the original barrel has been removed. Lemme know. [/QUOTE]
