I have a 1911 barrel bushing that I cannot remove. It is REALLY tight - I did the classic mistake - I saw it was tight but forced it in anyway because I wanted to shoot. I am trying to disassemble the slide now and I got the bushing to rotate a few degrees then my cheap metal bushing wrench stretched until it is useless. Slide is stainless steel and bushing is unknown metal but suspect stainless steel. This is not tight as in "target fit needs a little bit of wrench" this is tight as in cannot get to move without bending the metal GI style wrench. I out penetrating oil into every crevice before I started.
Any advice on removing this stuck barrel busing? Also, need a new wrench - any advice on "best" 1911 bushing wrench? May take to a competent gunsmith as option but hate to admit defeat too early.
