A cheater bar takes the load off the abdominal muscles. I had hernia surgery from breaking a Remington barrel loose. Young and dumb back then. I thought anything could be overcome with brute force.
Neutral shoe polish or Johnsons paste wax makes a good release agent.

I had the worlds tightest Remington 700 a few weeks back. I actually had doubts about it ever coming apart without doing major harm. I made up a wraparound action wrench with a good length bar attached, came off no problem with that.
