remington 742 308 cal

[moneychanger]

i wanted to clean my 742 by breaking it down and giving it a good clcleaning. well i did fine until the step to unscrew
the nut holding the barrel and action in place.

i've tried , but can't get the nut to break.

my next thought was to reassemle the what i took off, and i can't seem to compress thje spring that goes over the rod .

it seems there is a tool to compress the spring, and there
should be a socket or wrench to fit the aforementioned nut.

anyone out there have any tips or suggestions.
