I would not use any of those reaction rods that sit in the lugs of the barrel extension. The extension is only held to the barrel by 150lbs of torque and maybe the crush of the index pin into the threads, but usually not. Other forums have posters with experience unscrewing their barrel extensions off while trying to undo glued muzzle devices. It is also a long way from the muzzle to the barrel extension to be torqueing up the barrel.
I would isolate the torque as close to the muzzle as possible and use a barrel vise or barrel clamps. Or if I didn't have these make my own out of a couple of blocks of wood like AZHT is recommending.
I don't know for sure but it would likely be glued in place by Rocksett. I read soaking the muzzle overnight in water helps. Applying heat to it might help but Rocksett is designed to withstand heat, which is why they use it in the first place. I also read someone heating it up and tapping it with a hammer in a few places before applying force to remove. The common thread is applying a lot of effort with a wrench and breaker bar.
