Lockring removal/Cassette - Identify tool required

[DRM]

I did one on Saturday, a 6 speed on a 30 year old Raleigh, many people say that they can be a pig to get off but I soaked the threads with plenty of penetrating oil, left it to marinate for a bit, using a Shimano freewheel tool and a 24” bar, it came off quite easily using even pressure, I was surprised as there’s every chance it was fitted at Raleigh’s Nottingham factory in 1990, don’t forget to put a smear of grease on the hub threads when you fit the new one

Cheers guys, will get a tool ordered (think FR 1.3 from Parktool), and give it a bash!

I used one of those last summer, definitely made from Wensleydale!
Although it was extremely tight, a PT did the job though!
