What do you mean end cap? if your talking about the retainer/jam nut that backs up and holds the tube/hand guard strait just back it up with your hand and use a punch (flat head) in one of the groves and give it a good tap. If you need a barrel nut wrench and are in a pinch a 6" grinder wrench fits perfect and are in just about every shop.

Great idea with grinder wrench. Punch is a bad idea. Think there is lactate on it and I don't want to crack the ring

There is no loctite on the retention ring and you CAN tighten it with a punch if you don't overdo it.

the handguard comes with loctite that you have to let cure, but you only use it on the anti-rotation screws and the FRONT cap.

"...there is lactate..." There's what on it? Mother's milk? snicker.

Flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer works well, too.
