Did you remove the screw holding the stock on the receiver extension? After that, usr a strap wrench to remove the extension. Check it the reference section. A lot of go manuals to use.

If it has the flats, yes.
Though if you find you are putting too much grunt into it, someone may have gotten a little gay with the thread dope.

Yes, you can use a wrench there. Thats what it's there for.
