[QUOTE="TysonLeal, post: 1306403, member: 89600"] Thanks for the replys. For those that may search on this later, here is what I found. I removed the brake from the barrel and soaked in anything and everything designed to eat carbon. No dice. So after calling Savage and receiving my replacement in the mail I went to work disassembling. I tried heat, channel locks, vice grips, strap wrench and then a cutting wheel. I made a relief cut and tapped the insert out, being careful to watch out for the stainless pins that create the on/off click. This is important because Savage sends you three different sizes. I used a micrometer to measure the original pins and then replaced them with the proper sized pins. Sprayed it down with some dry lube, slipped the outter sleeve over the inner sleeve and threaded back on the rifle. Snugged it down tight and clicked the brake into the open position, never to be clicked again... Great little rifle, the on/off brake is an Interesting idea, but poorly executed contraption. As a previous poster mentioned, this will stay intact until the barrel is replaced. Thanks again for help...TL [/QUOTE]
