Cassette removal tool

[Leslie]

Hi all

Need some advice in the sort of tool I need to remove the cassette on this rear wheel. Any thoughts and suggestions?

My current guess is
Park tool FR5.2

OR FR-11

THANKS

Not a freewheel remover. They look the same but are fractionally smaller.

The first one. You will also need a chain whip.

Just watch your knuckles when you get round to removing it.

Don't forget you'll need a chain whip too.

Wrap a cleaning cloth (I use an old T-shirt) around your hand to avoid potential

I just bought a new removal tool that fit's a socket spanner so now hands are well out the way

fasten the remover tool in place with a wheel skewer to stop it slipping.

First one is fine as long as it's not a Campag cassette, which would require a similar, but slightly different tool.

I find the best way to use the tool is to put the tool in a vice, drop the wheel onto the tool and use the leverage of the wheel, combined with a chain whip, to loosen the cassette as they can be very tight and difficult to free up.
