Be nice if one of them would chimed in and gave some advice.
I had to undo one once, 3 out of 5 baffles were really seized. Even with the outside completely clean I couldn't get hose clamps to hold tight enough, just slipped. Tried using a small hammer to tap away at one of the hose clamps screws like @Ingrid 51 suggested which worked on one baffle but didn't work on any others, ended up missing and hitting the baffles edge and denting it slightly. After three days of soaking in "break away" penetrating lude I managed to undo with bare hands and brute strength and a little help with some multigrips. This was from firing only half a dozen rounds after giving the suppressor a tharra clean and lubing the thread with lithium grease after the previous shooting session. 6 rounds caused that much work and stress.
