Advice for Thunderbeast stuck on cb mount?

[Jimbee]

My 9" thunderbeast is stuck on a cb mount. When I tried to unscrew it the red loctite holding the cb mount to the rifle threads came loose. I cleaned up the threads and applied loctite again, screwed it back on and now nothing will budge. I tried whacking it with a screw driver handle, I sprayed the barrel and mount area with air duster (upside down) in an attempt to freeze/loosen it. Now it's sitting with Kroil applied. Anyone have any better ideas?

Could you post a picture of it, may give others a better idea to remedy the situation.

You try using a strap wrench on it now that the brake seems to be secured again?

This is another reason I don’t use QD mounts. They are not always QD.

The way I unstick my ASR mount when it does this is to fire 5 rounds in quick succession, give the end a good whack with the heel of my palm and then twist it off (I use an oven mitt).

When mine got stuck in the mount I was able to red locktite it on the barrel and I was able to break it free. I was worried I was going to unscrew my barrel but the suppressor let go first.
Hate to say it but tbac would have taken care of it if you'd a sent it to them before you put it back on your barrel.

I use the 419 system now I like it better, no chance of something locking together.

Area 419 had this figured out a while back. Maybe you could reach out to them regarding this tool- I’m not sure if they ever sold it but it looks great!

I have a rubbery strap wrench but it was slipping..

I shot it 6 times (300wsm) and tried to get it loose. I waited a few minutes between shots though.

I'm hoping to use it next week on a hunting trip. I want to put it on another gun though.....

What a nightmare. Glad I’m getting set up to go direct thread.

The OP’s is direct thread now .

A direct thread TBAC just has the brake pre installed.

If the other rifle has the same threading it should fit on there.

It already has a cb mount and different threads...

Give thunderbeast a call and I bet they will have a few other tricks up their sleeve!

Get that sucker hot and make sure you give it a good whack.

You're supposed to loktite the break to the rifle not the break to the can! Kidding.

Happened to mine before I locktighted the brake to the rifle. Stick it in the freezer for an hour or so and then try again. Worked for me.

I’ve had this happen….Tapping it while twisting with a strap wrench should work eventually. Use a deadblow hammer or wood mallet. Or a good chunk of 2x4.

Unfortunately they don't. I had the same issue happen to me last year with my Ultra 9. I just ended up sending it back to them.

I was thinking that I could buy or make a tool that fit up inside the ports on a brake just in case this ever happened again.
