IDEAS NEEDED - How to take a freewheel off from a hub?

<< < (3/6) > >>

20to26:
What about holding the hub with an oil filter removal tool - the kind with the strap. I've seen them in smaller sizes somewhere. You may be able to hold it steady enough to turn off the freewheel by putting the freewheel removal tool in the vice.

sid1972:
open up a jubilee clip and wrap some old rubber/ like an inner tube round the center hub -  tighten the jubilee cilp around the hub ontop of the rubber  - nice and tight..  :coolsmiley:

Place the bolt/screw mech of the jubilee clip into a vice and remove the freewheel as normal. The hub had to go into the vice at 90 degrees to clear the vice flanges.

Worked for me.  :angel:

I think I might try Spen's idea 1st off as that seems the least intrusive. I won't try too hard if it budges That'll be just the ticket I think.

If that doesn't work then I'll have another little think about my next move


Thanks again  :daumenhoch:

I have always got them off by lacing one side of the wheel also.

There's a pic on here where someone has done it.

I took this freewheel off recently it give you an idea what it looks like apart in case you want to take off the cog so you can lace up both sides.
