I'm removing my Bushy brake.  The problem is I got both pins out, but the thing still wont turn!  I tried torching the brake and pounding it off with a wrench and hammer.  I'm planning on sending this thing off to Adco this week but I wanted to save some cash by taking the brake off myself and now the bastard won't come off!  I've read how to do this, did I miss something?  Make it hotter?

I thought BM threads their barrels before installing the miniY?

If it's a 14.5 inch barrel and both pins are out, it should twist right off.

I GOT IT OFF!!!  I had to put the damn thing in a vise and stand over it with a 12" hardened steel bar through the brake and turn it with some leather gloves on.  It looks like somehow carbon was blasted back and deposited IN the threads, practically welding the thing on.  I got it off and cleaned the carbon off and it is officially the most beautiful looking brake removal job I have ever seen, and the first one I have done.  Thanks for the support guys.
