hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that is the **edited**est thing in the world u could wrap it around some stuff then put it on a padded vice or if u have a few bucks go to a department store and buy a strap wrench and vice it down , strap wrenches use rubber then u pull til it tightens on the item that way u wont damage it just try this and im pretty sure it will work if any other knowledge pops in my head ill le tu noe ------------- If the end is the start then where does it end..... |

| Try some penetrating oil first. Put it on a bunch of times from all angles and let sit for a day, then try it. Two strap wrenches will help if you need to really rank on it. If you have to use excessive force there is a good chance you already have or will ruin the threads so take it slow and easy. |

not penitrtating oil get 2 stap wrenches and use mussle. make sure your twisting it the right way and you dont need to buy a new kit. if its realy stuck you can get a new tip and back |

Do you know somthing I'm not aware of? He will probably need something to lessen the friction between the two pieces and help loosen them. Even if an o-ring is involved He will want to soften it ,especially if its shredded and in the threads. Penitrating oil will not harm the barrel in any way. |

| how much are strap wrenches? I've seen them advertised, but that was a long time ago. How much would a new front and back go for? I also have a back that has messed up threads, but it wouldn't be a problem to fix. Thanx for the feedback. |
