A few seconds with a propane torch ,may do the trick. Hot but not glowing red.

Though this may work, it is beyond my abilities, physically. I'd have to have someone else do it. Could that potentially damage the sight removal tool though?

You are pushing the sight from left to right aren't you?

I would remove the nylon piece and maybe use a small piece of hard wood.

I have seen some that are very tight. I had to use a GI removal tool with the hammer punch built in. You tighten it down and hit it with a hammer. Then tighten it down again and hit it with a hammer. The tools were made that way for a reason. Some rear sights can be tough.

It has been mentioned to use heat, maybe not a torch but, maybe try the oven.
