Post by: Funkyworm on April 17, 2013, 02:08 PM

Hi,

has anyone Got a Shimano freewheel remover to fit the freewheel in the pic below ? Can't seem to get the Fokker off & I don't want to resort to using the dremel .

Tool aint much to buy. A vice is needed though. You are twatting it anti clockwise?

I've use a chisel and lump hammer before. Alternate the blows on the cut outs. top/bottom/top/bottom if you get me. Warm it up too with the missis's hair dryer, hotter the better.

eBay item number 171025561618 is what I use on that type of freewheel ( as said you will need a vice bolted to a sturdy bench )

I could send it to you but the time there's postage involved you may as well buy one so you have it for next time.
