Remington 870 bead removal

[Larrybob42]

Can someone help me with the removal of the front bead on an 870 express? I have turned and turned but it won't come out. Is it pressed in? Thanks in advance.

yes it is pressed in, might get it out with some vice grips but once ya do it will have to be redrilled and tapped for another bead, this from 13 yrs gun repair
