• Another option is to remove the axle and use a metal bar across the notches.

    I had already envisioned this as a solution. Getting a really good fit between the bar and the notches is probably advised though?

    If you’re removing the freewheel body without using the notches, taking off the sprockets and I guess the outer moveable part of the body what do you have to grab onto with the vice?

  • Yeah I can only guess a better fit will help, the Var tool I have is not a snug fit but clamping it in with a skewer and hernia inducing force means the contacts are pretty solid.

    The bits in the side where the pawls go give purchase for a vice / tools. I would have been more wary of it if I wanted to keep that body, but I just wanted it off. Looking at it now though I've not done any damage.
