I also did not need a vise, or a heat gun. My aircraft plastic nut was not that difficult to remove. It did have some locktite on the stud threads I cleaned off the old loctite and I will not locktite a plastic nut for reassembly. I feel this is not necessary for an aircraft plastic nut. I am going to install a Limb saver new butt stock pad and call it good. Noveski QD end plates are a little difficult to find. I bought mine from Freedom Fighter Tactical. I mounted the QD side of the end plate on the right side of the stock. I think Todd from FFT are now making these plates themselves. They go for around $ 72.00

I removed my original end plate using this similar method and installed a Noveski QD end plate. The only thing different I did was I double nutted the the pistol grip side and then locking the two 8 mm nuts together I was able to use a ratchet, extension & (13MM) socket to back the stud out from the pistol grip side of the stock. These pictures and diagrams were very helpful in figuring out how to dissasemble. Thanks so much!
