I need a vice to put in a freewheel tool so I can use the rim as the lever to spin off a stuck singlespeed freewheel. Those B&D benches are useless unless you can bolt them to the ground and even then they flex a lot with the forces needed. I want a proper workbench somewhere.

I've been able to remove freewheels by:
1. Securing the tool in place with a bolt/qr
2. Bracing the wheel against a wall
3. Putting a ring spanner over the freewheel tool
4. Twatting the end of the spanner with a hammer until the freewheel loosens.
I think the sharper impacts of the hammer actually releases the freewheel quicker than the vice/busdriver method.

Other than the putting it near a wall bit that's exactly what I've been doing. Plus hosed the fucker down with some spray lube stuff and let it soak. It's not budging.

I always succeed with a vice. Everything in my world is better when there's a large solid lump of steel to hit things against :)
