Mine was stiff but we were able to get it off with a person holding the rifle and a person using a wrench. Took it off before any carbon fouling fwiw.
May require a little heat to release perhaps? I don't recall any thread locker.

I was thinking it might be thread locker so heat was definitely part of the plan once the new barrel vise makes it in, but I have never seen thread locker on a muzzle brake from the factory before so wanted to ask.
I've got a gen II 5.56 ranch, brake was a total pain to remove, required a wrench, and that thin cerekote took an impact.
Hadn't thought of this before but now I'm starting to wonder if the cerakote reduced the friction and caused my barrel vise to not get a good grip, hopefully I can manage to not damage it too badly.
