El Cristoff Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Find the tool to undo a Acs (Think Tatrybikes sell's it) undo the Acs, and screw on the Eno. sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Not exactly helpfull mate. The tools you'll need are acs freewheel removal tool, the appropriate size spanner/adjustable spanner and a vice or someway to hold the crank. It's relatively simple, just requires a fair bit of force to get it off. Clamp the cranks in a vice put the tool into place(you may want to secure loosely with a bolt if it's tough), get the spanner on the end and turn anti-clockwise to remove. May take a fair bit of effort to remove if you been riding it for a while so get the WD-40 out to flood the threads then use an extension bar of some description on the spanner.When putting the ENO on you can just thread it on with your hands but before you put it on it's best to lube the thread in some way atleast.

Al_Fel Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 if you are doing it yourself the best way I've found to get freewheels off is to make sure you bolt the tool to the freewheel/cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 If you dont want to use the ACS for anything else, just chop it off with an angle grinder, works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 If you dont want to use the ACS for anything else, just chop it off with an angle grinder, works a treat!No it doesn't Wilf, remember the state mine was in? The best thing to do is to get the tool, and bolt the tool into the ffw/crank arm, put the tool in a vice with the crank facing up, slip a long pipe over the crank arm and twist it off anti-clockwise.

JoeM Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) You need a crank puller to remove the crank first.Edit: Listen to Muel, he knows what he's talking about. Edited March 11, 2008 by Joeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 do what the others have mentioned but pour boling water from the kettle onto the thraeds of the cranks a moment before you try undoing the freewheel,this helps the freewheel come of.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
