PVC with an OD slightly smaller than the ID of the silencer + mallet is what I use.

Gave it some hits to break the seal kinda thing? I was wondering if leaving the other baffles out and taking some shots might cause it to push back and break loose.

The power of posting on arfcom. This last ultrasonic bath i had it in and then me slaming the end down like a shotglass (like ive done all damn week) finally did it! I saw some big carbon flake start to appear, kept pounding and she broke free. I don't think jbweld would have held it that strong!
Well... thanks for those who posted tips |

No problem.
It took me three fucking hours to clean my SD can earlier. |

ATF would have been my 1st try.

I've heard that before, really works? Straight or the acetone mix?

Sounds like my Kestrel. Took 4 hours in the ultrasonic before the blast chamber would unscrew. One of the baffles was stuck to it, when it came out. The others baffles were still stuck in the can. Tried a few squirts of ATF / Acetone on the baffles, let it soak over night. Still stuck.
Screw it. As long as the can comes apart, and the thread adapter can be changed out, I'll call it good. |

Put it back together. Get it hot at the range. Take it apart while hot using silicone or nomex gloves.
PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench will get your further than any chems mentioned in this thread. I also recommend buying LPS Anti-sieze spray for when you put it back together. I break my baffles loose before I leave the range. |

This is a timely thread...
my blast baffle in my Optimus is stuck, I've never had problems with the taper lock blast baffle. Live had it soaking in seafoam, its spent several hours in the ultrasonic cleaner.. nothing. I've tried the pusher tool and a mallet. Have not tried break cleaner.. should that be next? |

I've never seen Kano products locally. If you want something you can find at the hardware store, buy acetone and ATF and mix 50/50, then soak. Large glass jars work well for this... salsa, pickles, etc. |

I would try liquid wrench penetrating oil and use your blast baffle pusher tool.

Every now and then a wooden dowel and hammer are your best friends. I had a many, many thousand round Mask I took apart the other weekend. 6K? 7K? No idea... maybe more.
It all came out easy except for one baffle that took some pounding to get out. |

I got my blast baffle out, now it's the end cap lock ring. But that's always been a pain to get out. Really wish it was easier to get that damn ring out or if it was just an endcap. Are you using the Thread Logic or Lock Cease 20/20? It works very well for preventing this from happening again. I know from experience.

Ya, that's always a tough one on the Optimus. For that one I put the suppressor on a cleaning mat, stick a screwdriver though the piston, hold the can while pressing down on the piston with my hand and turn. If its still stuck I try gripping the end of screw driver and the can. Are you using the Thread Logic or Lock Cease 20/20? It works very well for preventing this from happening again.

Try this stuff. I apply it to all the threads and taper mount surfaces. https://www.mcmaster.com/#9438k1/=18n423c
