Proper way to remove a AR Flash Hider

Proper way to remove a AR Flash Hider when it is overtightened!

A customer brought in his upper to work on.  He got the upper from a friend.  We tried to take off the flash hider and it was stuck.
we broke a set of barrel clamps in a vise. So we had to use the proper tool to get it off.  It took a 3 foot pipe over the wrench to get it loose!
When we got it off the crush washer was now a FLAT washer!
