1. Disassemble your Remington 870 shotgun and take out the old forend.
2. There is a nut on the front of the forend. You need to unscrew it using pliers (insert them in two notches on the nut).

You can use pliers on your Leatherman multi tool if you have one. Some recommend to use a spanner wrench for this purpose.

3. When you have the nut unscrewed just slide the forend off.
