How hard is it to remove an AR-10 Flash Suppressor?

Title says it all - I was thinking about replacing the flash suppressor on an AR-10A4 - how hard is it to get that off? (I am assuming it is just threaded on there).

Thanks!

If it is just screwed on, then you can unscrew it with the right tool. If it's locktited, apply heat to break the loctite.

If it's been pinned, you need to locate the blind pin and grind it off/out.
