Im trying ro remove the Barrel nut from my AR15 to put a Handguard on . I have a AR wrench I bought at a gun show but I cant get it to budge. Any suggestions?

Are you using a good receiver block?  It can take a surprising amount of torque to remove the barrel nut, and if you're not holding the receiver right, you can ruin the upper.  Have you removed the gas tube?

You may need a cheater bar, or pipe over the wrench to get it done.  Be careful.  Make sure you're turning the right direction, counter clockwise to unscrew.
