I must obtain a monster strap wrench like that. I couldn't find one locally.
Freedom Ordnance took it off and shipped it out the same day. When I asked how their rep sent me this:
Yep that's it....
Right tools and all...
Gun specific vise block (receiver is different than usual AR) and monster strap wrench.
And a good manicure.^^ Their gorilla has some very pretty hands.
I recently obtained a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 pistol and very much want to remove the fake suppressor that came on it. I have tried strap wrenches, vice grips, pipe wrenches and everything in between and can't get it to budge. They claim no loctite and right hand threads.
Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience and if anyone had some useful tips before I throw in the towel and send it to them to remove it.
Heat makes things expand, so if you're removing a nut from a bolt or stud, heating the nut will make it expand and loosen. If you're removing a bolt from a casting, you need to heat the thing that the bolt is in or you will be swelling an already stuck bolt.When taking threaded parts apart you should heat the part being removed while keeping the part it's removed from as cold as possible. Sometimes that is difficult but the success rate is much better when that process can be done.
Can you see any of the threads?Is there any chance it has reverse threads?
