can someone explain this freewheel remover?
A man in Kenya came up with this device. It seems to remove a
freewheel, but it doesn't appear to reach into the splines like you would expect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEeyY09YzEY#t=3m20 I don't understand his explanation. Can anyone speculate? -pm |

Can anyone speculate? I have a vintage French made version, given to me long ago. The big bolt on the outside deforms the freewheel body edge enough to bind the freewheel which may then be spun off.

It was explained to me that you only need tighten enough to make it not freewheel during removal. If you can imagine a worn four speed freewheel with damaged notches, it seems a reasonable approach. Alternate methods start with 'remove axle'... -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I'd guess the sprocket body is pushed outwards and acts like a strap wrench around the cone. The deformation required is small and even if there were permanent local deformoation (because of inadequate hardening) it would likely be reduced by the unscrewing of the last sprocket. |
