[QUOTE="Jake_Leibke, post: 2792273, member: 125520"] I did my first one this winter. For an action wrench I tried boring a hole in some oak blocks and clamping in a bench vise. Tried this method with Sheetrock tape, powder sugar and both together. It would would not hold tight enough. Bought a Viper barrel vise and that worked like a charm. I also made an action wrench that bolts together like the wheeler on the outside of the action and would take a 1/2” breaker bar. This also did not work for removal. Works great to torque new barrel though. Ended up getting some 1” aluminum bar stock and building a wrench/ breaker bar in one. This along with the viper vise worked wonders. Had the factory barrel off in seconds. [/QUOTE]
