Need help removing a stubborn Castle Nut on my AR

[rlt3241963]

I’m swapping out my Quad Rail for a M-Lok Low Profile rail and the Castle Nut for the Quad rail is being really stubborn. I’m not really equipped for removing it and don’t have all the necessary tools. I live near I20 and I285. Can anyone help me?

Way ahead of you. Already tried something exactly like that. I don’t have a vice so it makes harder. It’s one stubborn nut

Heat it with a hairdryer on the highest setting for 5-mins then try.

Bring it by my place and I can knock it out for you. I’ll be available for a bit tomorrow, then out of town running a class until Monday.

Just to clarify, this is what I’ve done so far. Channel Locks, Heated it with a small torch and used a really cheap Castle Nut Wrench, used a punch set and hammer. I wasn’t joking when I said stubborn. I’d use a four letter word for it but trying to keep it clean.

Just checking but you are turning counterclockwise right?
