The action, barrel and nut are threaded "right hand" ......... remember: righty tighty

If you are on the ejection port side of a right hand action ..... the top of the receiver would turn away from you and the top of the nut turns towards you to loosen.

This means that the nut wrench goes down on your side and the action wrench goes up.

Or try this: With the rifle standing butt down ....... the barrel nut needs to turn counter clockwise.

Also do you have access to a very good long handled 1/2" flex handle? The wheeler nut wrench has squares for such a tool and it makes those stubborn factory mounted barrels a bunch easier.

Best of luck and enjoy!
