How do I get this off ?

  • Mate sent me this photo, he wants to remove the freewheel but not sure how. Looks like there is something missing from the middle. It's an old screw on block. Any ideas ?

  • You need a two pin freewheel removal tool that fits into these slots.

    Something like this: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tools/var-rl41300-freewheel-remover-for-suntour-sachs-aris-maillard-700/

  • This?

    Or maybe cut a piece of steel flat bar so that it fits inside both notches and grab it with a spanner?

  • Thanks. I've got one somewhere.

  • As the axle isn’t there any more, put a bolt through the hub and through the remover and secure with a washer and nut to stop the remover slipping off, which it will with only 2 notches.

    (Memories of doing this awkward job back in the 70s)
