Suppressors TBAC ultra 9 problem

[Cangus88]

Hoping for some help here. I have an ultra 9 with a cb mount. After a couple days at the range I went to take it off and the mount come off with it. I cleaned the threads and re applied red lock tight. Let it cure and now I can’t seem to get them separated still. Any pointers? Thanks.

Thunder Beast has a technical note on this issue:

What to do if your CB/BA suppressor gets stuck

If you don't think you can get the can off a BA or CB mount, try this. Take a medium or small rubber dead blow hammer and give the rear of the can a...

If you clean the rifle threads and the inside of the CB brake, re-apply red loctite, and then wait a day, it should come apart no problem.

If you can't get it, you can send it here and we can do it.

So everything is stuck to the gun now, or the cb came off with the can a second time?

I’ve had some of those brakes pretty tight but never not been able to remove one. Make sure your red loctite is set. When you originally tighten the can use one hand just about as tight as you can. Then when you remove it, hold the gun between the legs and use both hands to remove. That’s the way I do it and never had a problem.

The second time the cb stayed as of now. Everything is stuck to the gun.

Go to the hardware store and get a strap wrench. You just need a little leverage.

I was thinking the same thing. I tried hitting it with a rubber hammer trick with no luck.

If you're going to use a strap wrench, use one of the rubber ones.

Stop trying to take the can off while it's hot. Red Loctite goes liquid at about 450F. I had this happen one time and learned quickly.

+1

Also due to the thermal characteristics, it will be harder to get off when hot vs. cold/normal.

I would make a threaded shaft and use a jam nut on the brake if the brake comes off with the can again

We had a tool made just for this purpose.

Two rubber strap wrenches from Lowe’s worked for me. One for barrel and one for suppressor

 

[Cangus88]

Well I finally got it off. Rubber wrench! Lesson learned to say the least. Thanks for all the help!

I put a little antiseize on the mount to can threads, not sure if that's recommended or not but I do it.

Any reason the CB brake wasn't designed to have a wrench flat on the outside to mitigate this issue? I turned a couple 5/8x24 brakes into permanent 1/2x28 brakes by throwing an adapter with loctite in the brake so I could use it as a direct thread option on 1/2x28 guns and not worry about the brake being stuck in the can.

 

[Zak Smith]

It would add more OAL then.

The SR brakes have a 15/16 flat because they need the length for SR collar clearance anyway
