Quoted: This is going to be a newbie question. I'm trying to remove the buffer tube from the lower receiver. I'm using the an AR combo wrench but it seems like 2 parts of the receiver end plate are hammered into the crown nut so I can't remove it easily. Can somebody suggest on what I should do? Thanks.

Why are you removing the buffer tube?
My guess is that if it's staked then it's a milspec tube, Colt Maybe?
If you are just changing out the stock for a different milspec one, then just pull off the old one and slide on the new one, no need to change tubes. if you're going with a non milspec set up, dont do it,
To remove the stock pull out on the whole adjusting lever, hard, in order to pull the pin over the edge of the tube rail, easier yet, just pull the end of the lever towards the front of the rifle to retract the adjustment pin from the tube
if you are wanting a different tube for the number of positions, I myself never use more than "all in" or "all out", 2 position is fine, 4 position is more than enough,
If you're going to put on an A2 stock then just disreguard this whole post, its a slow night
