trialsking 55 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 a vice, a screwdriver/chizel etc. , and hammer. then hammer the pawls (i think, well the bits that stick out on the middle) round anti-clockwise until it comes off. or get a freewheel tool >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 If its an old knackered freewheel take it all appart and put it in a vice so the bits where the pawls go into stop it from rotating in the vice >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Its actually a fixed cog, I can't remove it, they are normal thread? Anti clockwise to undo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Best way I've found is leaving the tyre on the wheel, lock the cog in a vice then get a friend and grab the wheel and unscrew. I tried so many things last time and that's what finally did it in the end >_< Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 chainwhip - anticlockwise ← Which unfortunately doesn't solve the problem of the stuck-on sprocket, but does leave you the fresh problem of a snapped chainwhip :unsure: For future reference, you can do the sorta chainwhip bodge, whereby you get a block of wood, a length of chain and two screws. Get block of wood. Lie chain down on top of wood so the side plates are vertical. Put one screw through the gap in the chain at one end. Put your sprocket under the chain so it's resting on the wood. Wrap the chain tightly around the sprocket and then along the wood. Put the second screw through the gap in the chain just after the sprocket. Put block of wood into vice. Turny turny. /\ That should work. However, you can usually just get a Plumber's wrench and tear the f**ker off. Worked pretty well at or LBS...
