Evening all, I come sealing advice for last resort freewheel removal.
I'm trying to remove a 7 speed sachs freewheel from a trispoke i picked up from here last week. Three shops have tried really hard and failed at getting it off.
The one on there at the moment might last a little while but If it goes the wheel is useless so id like to try and get it off and replace it.
The problem with removing it it he normal way is that the freewheel is so stuck that the center of the hub starts to unscrew so I'm looking for another way.
Any suggestions would be awesome.

According to what I've found it's not a spin,

Also the hub in my wheel isn't the same as the spin hub that mdcc_tester posted.
Wheel is currently at the shop again and I'm waiting to hear back if anything can be done.

After looking around online I've found out that it's a 'trispoke' brand wheel.
Hard to find much information on them because when you google the name it brings up every other company at the same time.From what I can tell it's not the same hub as spin or hed/ specalized. It's somewhere between the two.
Any info on these wheels would be awesome.
Cheers. -

I'm having some serious trouble removing the freewheel from a specalized tri spoke.
I've taken it to two bike shops and neither of them have been able to do it. It seems like the freewheel has seized and when they try to remove it the hub starts to unscrew just behind the threads.
it look like it's got sealed bearings on both sides if that makes any difference.Any suggestions?
Cheers.

Cheers, I'm a little bit reluctant to put anymore pressure / force on the wheel or hub because I don't want to damage them. I think I'll just have to leave it place and ride it till it's knackered and then deal with it.
