Be sure to heat the action and barrel shank/tennon to melt the sealer that tikka puts on them. Might even need a relief cut.

I've never seen anything in a Tikka action for sealer, one of the easier actions to take apart IMO. If you have a Rem outside action wrench just flip the top jaw to the flat side and put that on top, works like a charm.
In case you don't find one to rent, here's a couple of places should you decide to buy ...

Thanks brother
The handful I have seen have been very difficult. One twisted/broke the wrench. This was with factory barrels

You have to use an outside wrench first time of, inside wrenches are for new barrels, the OD wrench you can strike without doing bad things to the action, I've had them literally spin but I don't mess around when I take an action of!

I'll second what Bigngreen said.
I pulled two factory tikka barrels with a Rem 700 wrench turned over to match the flat side of the action.
I read all sorts of horror stories and was super surprised when both barrels popped loose pretty easily.
The trick is to sprinkle Rosin from Brownels on a piece of paper drywall tape and wrap it around the barrel where the vice makes contact, keeps it from slipping
