freewheel removing from tuff2
« on: November 05, 2006, 09:39 AM »
cant get the freewheel off,

I havent got a proper tool,

tried hammering the threaded lip, putting a punch in the two external lug holes and hammering round
even tried welding the cog to the casing and putting the cog in vice and turning the wheel, wont budge.

any suggestions apart from take it bike shop?

if you dont have the tool & its stuck tight take it to a bike shop, it will only cost about a fiver & it will save you smashing your wheel to bits

going to have to be bike shop, fed up with it.

no its not a cassette type.
Got a atom freewheel which wont budge.

dont think its going to move with a slot in pin type socket, 1 of the slots a little bit chewed. not really bad though
hopefully they will have something that will fit like chain and lock.

something like this

if all else fails you can crush it in a vice bassically you take the outer part of the freewheel , the cog if you will havef then grip the inner part in a vice ( not too tight or you will wreck the threads on the wheel) then just turn the wheel anticlockwise and it will come off

My local bike shop removes freewheels for free  :daumenhoch: Usually end up buying something while I'm there just so that I don't feel so guilty about using them so much  :LolLolLolLol:
