which freewheel remover

<< < (3/4) > >>

kuwahero:
pin punch or centre punch in hole and hammer anticlockwise it should eventually move. sometimes a few hits the other way first (tighten it) helps break the seal of any corrosion

removed one like this the other day on the neighbours daughter bike and it was proper rusty. gave it a spray with GT85 and left 10mins then did above and it came off no bother

Just make sure the diameter is correct.

I wouldn't undo it via the dimples as that is just gonna release all it guts and you've still not got it off.

thanks for the info, folks.

kuwahero:
the tool Steve has linked to won't work. if you look carefully it has slots under the pins that sit in a recess on the freewheel

yours doesn't have them. the front plate on your freewheel only unscrews clockwise. so going anticlockwise will not cause it to open and spill its guts.

like i said the method I used above worked fine for me :daumenhoch:

revcore:
It is a cheap crappy Chinese freewheel so removing it in pieces isn't a bad idea (The only way to remove them without the aid of the proper tool). Bin it and get something decent like Shimano, Suntour, ACS or if your budget will allow, A White Industries freewheel.
