I am trying to change my rear cassette on my hybrid from a 12-25t to a 11-28t and struggling to move the lock ring.
I have held the freewheel in place with a chain whip and fitted a cassette removal socket but whether I try turning it with a 3/8" wrench or using a 60 cm tap wrench it will not budge.
I tried soaking the lock ring in magic wrench spray and tapping it with a hammer and screwdriver but its as if the ring has bonded to the smallest cog.
At one point my wrench was starting to bend I had that much force on it.
I don't have a table vice so my next step is to take it to a LBS.
Any ideas what you would expect to pay just for them to free the lock ring ?
p.s. I am in Hull if anyone local has any suggestions where to try.
