Somewhere on the forum is a pic of my stuck nut removal day.... barrel vise, EWK wrench, kroil, etc....
Amazing how tight they suddenly become with a little rust underneath them--and I bought a 4 barrel set with all stuck nuts !!!

Great that you finally got it loose. Just a thought on the subject. I believe one of the reasons stuck nuts happen, is people shoot the gun and it becomes loose and then tighten the nut while the gun is hot, so when the gun is cold the nut is super tight and then the nut gets stripped when attempting to remove it cold. Just a theory but I suspect it is responsible for a lot of super tight barrel nuts.
