If you mean those odd looking, bottle opener type gizmos... then no. Not in a long time. They usually always broke on use.

I was led to believe the rear hub of of my Record Sprint was a helicomatic one, but now I've actually had a look it is in fact a Suntour one, my bad D'oh!

So instead of one of THESE I'm actually after a Suntour 2 notched tool like THIS for this..................

Scrap it and everything it is attached to.

 

[MrWill]

Only joking.

Freewheel remover then... ah.

I don't think I have one. I have a Miche tool which fits most freewheels you get these days - i.e. splined.

PS Be prepared to use a big spanner and a long lever on it - like a garden hoe. Yup, I have my garden hoe set up to fit over a 12" adjustable spanner for the only reason of removing freewheels.

it's a Suntour perfect freewheel..?

then ..hmmmmmmm

took mine apart
lockring first with a punch and big hammer - anticlockwise
remove cogs...76 small Balls will fall on the floor
place inner hub into a large vice - screw wheel off


BIN the Suntour and buy a new £10 freewheel
which uses a more readily available Shimano tool

Hmmm indeed! I was only actualky going to remove it to clean it TBH.

It actually seems OK, so if turns out to be then I think I'll leave well alone until it gives out

...i re-assembled mine [just for the hell of it.] using Rock n' Roll Web grease - runs well. Loathe to use again without a removal tool

My other freewheel [ I bought the Normandy 24 spline tool..£16..!] --- i immersed in 90wt gear oil overnight - in use, running well.

they both will prob still outlast the new Chinese made Shimano.!....
