m2 recoil spring removal

[sendit223]

I've searched a few times and can see discussions regarding SBE recoil spring removal, the change to nylon hardware, heating, etc.

 

I can't seem to find the same discussion for the M2.

 

Is removal of the nut that retains the M2 recoil spring a simple matter of using some force? Or does it need to be heated? Is there locktite on there from the factory?

 

Thank you.

Yes... it's loc-tited. I usually use a heat gun rather than a torch.
