Title: Stupid question...
Post by: Swivel on September 03, 2009, 07:35 PM
Been sometime since i've done this  :2funny: but, if removing a cog/freewheel from a wheel which way should I turn it? Clockwise or Anti-clockwise? I will probably use a hammer and something that won't dent it to knock it off, but need to know chaps as I don't want to overtighten it and risk fooking it up....

Ta,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

As said above anti-clockwise, the direction it freewheels, pedalling tightens em

Get a removal tool, only a couple of quid makes it easy peasy to get em off

Put removal tool on freewheel with a wheelnut and washer holding it in place loosely... big spanner and hammer if required... job done...  :daumenhoch:

or put the tool(not yours) in the vice and use the wheel itself for leverage.
