place the gat in between a pillow...
grab a teatowel
if that doesnt work..
try hitting the top of the feedneck with a hammer ( and the sides )
the vibrations should loosen it up.
but i take no responsibility for screwing up the gat

Big no not to the hammer!

1 on the following three ways should do it

1) Get a set of pliers grab hold of the feedneck (one inside one outside)
and turn.

2) Heat using boiling water to loosen any loctite & then go to town on the pliers

3) Heat using a match and go to town with pliers

If you wan to get the feedneck of in good condition use a padded strap wrench or similar.

Be careful using water on a electronic marker & also be careful with the matches I also take no responsibility for anything that happens.

Strap wrenches (sold as lid openers) are £1.50 on my market and have shifted every single feedneck I've asked them to

Thanks for your help guys, he managed to get it of by putting in a bench vice up side down and simply twisting it.

as james may (top gear) said, " Hammer is the tool of the pikey."
