[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1712819, member: 18849"] If the old barrel is junk grind two "flat" spots on it so the pipe wrench will find a better grip. Use a cheater pipe on it and possibly the wheeler action wrench handle if the bench vise won't hold it. As stated don't overtighten the action wrench bolts just "snug" and use the 1/4-28 bolt thru the front action screw hole. You may have to setup everything on the floor and stand/jump on the cheaters. It should come off that way. Btw: You probably wont need heat but if you heat it should be applied to the receiver not the barrel. That way the receiver gets expands. Applying heat to the chamber makes the barrel "bigger". Quick cooling the barrel after heating the receiver may also help. Good luck, it will come off. [/QUOTE]
