dwain dibbly:
ANY SUGGESTIONS??
i got a suntour freewheel fitted
to a suzue hub and i cant get the **^^%&$$KING thing off >:( >:( >:(
the hub is out of the wheel  so i cant use the wheel as leveredge
i have  the correct freewheel removal tool and have had the hub soaking
in wd40 overnight but still it wont budge.
ive even gone to the extreme of fitting a chain type oil filter puller and
pulling as hard as possible with no luck
all Ive managed to do up to this stage is chew up the hub  :'( :'(
anyone got a suggestion?

QUADROPHENIA:


lace it back in a old wheel is the best way, dont have to be pukka, just so you can give it some grief, if that dont work throw the fooker in the bin and get a new one.

othomas2:
Couldn't you protect the hub and wack it in a vice, then use the freewheel tool ... ??

MartyC:
Best way is as Pete says, rebuild it on one side and then using a freewheel remover put it in a vice and turn the rim to remove  :daumenhoch:.

If your not bothered about the freewheel....use small cutting wheel cutting wheel in a dremel and prise apart with a screwdriver.......just be careful not to cut right down to the threads on hub  :)
