bdhszy1 18 Posted July 1, 2019 I have a Kimber 1911 45ACP and was taking it apart to clean and compressed the spring, but turned the barrel nut CCW instead of CW and it is jammed so much that I am afraid of breaking the barrel nut wrench. Is there a trick to getting out of this problem? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted July 1, 2019 Put a little ass behind it and turn in the direction you want to go. Or, rack the slide slightly rearward relieving the tension of the barrel in the bushing. Might make it go a bit easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumb in the trigger guard, retract the slide and rotate that bushing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
