A powerful (Binford style) impact can probably get it off. I always block the top and use a big breaker bar on the nut at the bottom. Hasn't failed me yet.

As for the bushings, some have slid out (extremely worn), some I pound out, and two nights ago I had to torch it out of my brother's 300D, it was IN there. Heat burned off the rubber and the metal pieces came right out.
The Binford 6100 is what I use.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
