weld done

[sawzall]

now you have it back together this is the best way to remove it,tack weld a piece
of bar across freewheel making sure it won't turn,then use bar as lever and freewheel will come off,
do it while it's still hot as this will help it 

forgot to say make sure wheel is covered up when welding as weld splatter will stick to wheel

Lol, love the pic! I take it it's a left handed thread and I'm basically taking the while thing off the same thread the race goes onto?

".........6. The inner body is threaded clockwise onto the hub shell. Look on inner body for two flats created by pawls. Grab the body firmly on these flats in a vise and turn wheel counter-clockwise.  ................."             (http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=46)

Thanks everyone, the buggers off and I only skinned my pinky (finger). I took the cog of, popped the mole grips on the bottom race, put that into the work bench, turned clockwise and squashed my finger. I then threw away the crappy one and now perusing replacements on flea bay.

Thanks all for your help, especially sawzall, fischflo and moose. Moose, I saw your sig once state "Trust Moose", I did and all was good.
