Help with HUXWRX FLOW 45 M

So I picked up my HUXWRX FLOW 45 M suppressor yesterday and have now spent a couple of hours today trying to remove the piston so I can get everything needing grease greased before firing some rounds through it tomorrow. Having thoroughly reviewed the manual and numerous reviews, I cannot find anywhere whether I should be wrenching counter clockwise OR clockwise to get piston assembly out. TBH, neither is working for me at the moment and I’m letting it sit with oil hopefully penetrating into the threads. And I thought getting the flash suppressor off the Kuna was a PITA!

​

Anyone disassembled a flow 45 and can share if it’s clockwise or counterclockwise threaded? I’d hate to be making my dilemma worse by inadvertently tightening it more.

Have you contacted the manufacturer?
 
Both of mine with all the muzzle ends and attachments are clockwise to tighten. i shot the 5;56 one today and changed the end to a 1/2x28 direct thread. i bet the piston is too. matter of fact my pistol cans are the same. counter clockwise to loosen.
 
Verified with company that the piston adapter screws out counterclockwise. Still won’t budge. I’m sure they over torque so they don’t get complaints it loosened or malfunctioned.

I’ll see if range LGS can help me out tomorrow. Pretty sure they have a vice they can use. Just means I’ll have to probably shoot sans suppressor this time around so I can bring it home, grease it, and properly torque various pieces. They don’t really have space to do all that at indoor range.
 
There is a guy on ebay that makes silencer holders that have magnets that stick to a vise. i bought a set from him and they work great. i made a few when i first got itno them. ill see if i can find his link. don't have any pics of mine. here's a home made one that works fine.

Ummm..that’s a link to a nun picture 😀…

Very weird, click original message link, nun picture, click link above in my reply and it goes to eBay page! Oh well, got to where I needed!
 
When Huxwrx came on the market they were getting many complaints about putting ends on too tight. people were messing up their finish and other stuff trying to get them off. luckily i got mine after they stopped puttin them on with flippin 3/4 inch air impact ratchet.
