thread resurection:
I bought a park fr6, i bought a corresponding 25mm spanner (adjustable, unfortunately).
I attempted to unscrew, counterclockwise.
I have ruined the spanner
I have slightly rounded the tool
I have narrowly escaped hammering my thumbdoes any body have any suggestions for how to get it off? it seems to be locked tight (i assume it tightens when I go up hills, as it is a 16t wheel from a 46x16 set up, and I weigh about 17 stone, i think i may have tightened it considerably.....)
I could go to a bike shop and prob get it done for £10, but then next time i want to mess around with it and change it i'd have to do the same....thanks

keep the tool lightly bolted on using the axle until it is loosened then remove the track nut.

thanks, tried that with the track nut, stops it flying off, but it just won't budge.
i don't know whether it was greased when it was put on (i didn't do it...)
hmmmm

ive just searched the park tool website, and rather worryingly
This model of freewheel has no removal tool fittings of any type.
am i to assume the only way to remove this freewheel is to take dismantle it and remove the core with a f*** off big wrench?

no chain whip the worng way round and lots of force, or a large grinding tool could work.
Hippy - watch this space. I'll see how the afternoon develops, and post here sometime after 4pm.
