Advice for choke being stuck

[Lointer man]

Thanks in advance! My IC choke tube is stuck in my benelli and I’m havin a hard time changing it out.. I’ve heard of burning your barell to use some more elbow grease.. appreciate the advice!

I soak it for a week in a penetrating oil. I use Kroil. WD40 also works. Use a small narrow container so that the entire choke region is immersed in the oil. After 1 week of soaking, attempt to remove the tube with a proper wrench.

You may want to use heat if it is particularly stubborn.

If you still cannot remove it, here is the "last way".

I got access to an assortment of welders/torches. Let me in to dislodge the choke.
Best of luck,

Did you try a quarter and a pair of vicegrips

My sons was stuck in his Browning, buddy had a choke wrench with a 3/8s like square hole in the center. I think he said it was for a Remington. Used a 3/8s drive air impact came out easy, the jarring effect.

Be gentle at first. Try soaking. You can always get physical later

I would bet that the proper wrench for the choke tube works better than a quarter and vice grips.

I have a Carlsons? maybe, choke tube wrench that’s shaped like a quarter. Plus a variety of 4 notch wrenches. Had a tube stuck in my Benellli that I couldn’t get out with any of them. A quarter and vicegrips gave me enough leverage. I cautiously took it out.
