I took it off for a detail cleaning, never had a problem with mine.

I had to use a wrench with about a 12" extention to get the thing off (I changed it for a CAR tube and a LMT SOPMOD stock with Slash's buffer and a cut spring inside).

How did you secure the lower receiver?

I have a gun vise and could pad it up some to keep from scratching the lower.
