Hi have try that and still tight?

You removed the gas tube, first, right?

It takes a LOT of English to get it loose. Heck, even the flash suppresors on
AR barrels can be quite the feat.

Yes I did. So now what?

[AJAX22]

Well..... you MIGHT want to consider using a hotwrench... but be very carefull not to hurt the temper

Use a longer cheater bar.

I have a 4ft long cheater bar that slips over my DPMS multi tool.
It's often necessary on Armalite and Bushmaster built uppers.

righty tighty, lefty loosey.

Kroil, let it soak in. Hammer on the wrench while loosening. Also, make sure when you reassemble to put some grease on the threads of the upper so you wont have this problem in the future. The two types of metals tend to lock up.

With proper leverage, there's no need to hammer.
The only way to do the really tight ones is with a long cheater pipe.
