I've seen reports both ways.  Trying to determine if I need to soak in water or if should just go straight to the vice/reaction rod.

No.  Threads are dry and muzzle devices are installed/timed with crush washers.  This is for any SBR, Pistol Variant, or anything with a barrel 16" or longer.  Our 14.5" configurations (V7 SLW, M4A1, and M4A1 RIII) have pinned/welded muzzle devices.  Don't try to spin those off.  You'll ruin your barrel.

Fantastic, thanks.

For a 16" V7 LW and an 18" V7 Pro, BTW.  Swapping out for Huxwrx suppressor mounts.

You're good to go.  Just spin them off with your upper secured in a vice with an upper receiver vice block or reaction rod.  Install Muzzle devices per HuxWrx instructions.
