Is that not a freewheel as opposed to a freehub and cassette?.

no chainwhips but a few firm whacks on the front with a hammer + penetrating fluid where it meets the hub always helps get them off

so i need one of these, held in a vice, then turn the wheel in the opposite direction to cycling?

I usually put the tool into the freehub, ensure it is held in place by using the axle nut if possible.

Place a spanner on the tool and apply some impact technology to the spanner with one of these.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
