Help! Need to use ar15 upper vise

[WILWORK4GUNS]

I seem to get all the broken stuff!!!
I bought a USED complete Spikes upper, and when I went to install it on my newly completed lower I noticed that the gas tube was crooked. Upon further inspection I found that the barrel nut was mis aligned, the gas tube was bent into a "z" to get through it....and the roll pin was only driven half way through the gas block and tube (because the tube was rolled so badly that the holes did not line up!!)
I managed to make a pretty awesome barrel nut wrench, but the nut is so D@MN tight that I cannot get it loosed up to re-set it.
If anyone has the correct upper vise and would not mind lending it to me, or just helping me fix this mess Id be eternally grateful!
Thanks, Scott.

if you wanna drive out to cantonment, you can put it in my vise and i'll put my heat gun on it. I also have the correct wrench. charge is one(1) thirty two ounce (32) dr.pepper from whataburger. you make the call....

Thanks! I just tried the heat gun on it and it popped right off!
The rest should be cake.
I'll have to order a vise....just wanted to be able to go to the range tomorrow.
Thanks, Scott.

Look up squirrel daddy on amazon. $30 for upper and lower blocks. If you want I'm in Milton and would fix it for you for free.
