removing a stuck freewheel with a stick

(1/5) > >>

theRuler:
i have been beating on this worn out freewheel for hours. broken every tool i have had in the little pin holes

so i got my mate to stick weld it together



then some more thwacks but this time on the sprocket teeth, allowing me to use a girthier drift.
and it flew off





bit brutal but i need the hub

oberonspacefruit:
i see he's keeping britain tidy.

oberonspacefruit:
also if you put it in a vice, it crushes the outer race, and you can use the wheel for leverage.

never had one stay put with that method.

we tried that just before the sticker welder come out

oberonspacefruit:
