any one ever removed a barrel from a reproduction .45/70 SHARPS? What's the best action wrench to do it with?

I have never done one of these, repro or original, but they are enough like a lever action in some respects that I'd probably tackle the job the same way. You'd need a wrench with two parallel, flat jaws and you'd need to put it as far forward on the receiver as possible. You'd also need to completely gut the receiver and put a tight fitting block inside the receiver to avoid the possibility of collapsing it inward. The Brownell's action wrench with the lever action set-up should work.
