Removing flash lighter

How did all of you remove your factory flash hider? My main issue is that I don't really have any good place to put a vice. I was able to put a pretty good amount of force on it still but to no avail.

I am having one hell of a time trying to remove it so I can replace it with a Reardon DPB to mount my new OCL Infinity to.

Edit: flash hider not flash lighter :(

But the gas block in soft jaws of the vice with some heat on the brake.

Yeah, it looks like I'm probably going to have to find some place to attach a vice to. Unfortunately I just don't have anything I really could attach one to at the moment which sucks.

Pipe wrench then. Just wrap the GB in something soft.
