Plug the breech end of the barrel, pour some Kroil into the barrel, let soak over night, then remove.  You can then use a drag link socket to remove it easily.  Sears or any auto supply store carries them, just make sure you get the correct size.  In case you don't know what it looks like.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.
