Sprocket Removal *Sorted by Shaun Pearce*

Hehehehe
This is a totally original bike :'(
It is mint and was gonna be at the show n shine as a totally original specimen.
It is a real peach but I don't want to damage anything or replace any items. Buying is too easy. The chain took me hours to clean and so far I have spent 30+ hours and £0.00
Am I mad???

Hi all.
So I live near Cambridge, have spent two days driving around various towns trying to buy a tool, or find a cycle shop that has a tool to get this sprocket off, and getting pretty pi$$ed off in the process about such a simple problem.
I have tried most local towns and with Cambridge having dozens of cycle shops and after visiting most of them, I thought that i'd try Halfords, but was sure that they would be a wasted journey.
So, in I walk with this dirty rusty old wheel as young kids ride / sit on new shinny bikes as parents check price tags, and I explained the situation to a young-ish lad who thought I was mad and had no ideas......
But after a good chat and explaining again how this freewheel works to another chap the freewheel came off without any damage. :) and during this time we spoke about BMX, it's bizarre how things happen!
Anyway, he also rode BMX in the early 80's on a Curtis, did quite well, and I'd like to say thanks to Shaun Pearce.
So, if any of you know / remember him, we hopefully will have another old rider back onboard soon as he has the Rad details.
