monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Guessing you'll need a chain whip and cassette tool. hold freehub still with the whip and unscrew the cassette lockring. Everything will then just slide off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Everything will then just slide off.Unless its a thin based cog on a alloy cassette body, in which case you may find that the cog has dug in and you cant get it off. Best plan of attack is to cut it off using a dremel, being careful not to cut into the body itself. Then it you file down the mishaped areas of the body and buy a decent wide based cog. That way, you might/should get away with not having to buy a new cassette body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put both sprockets on the driveshell and use the chainwhips in opposite directions to pull out the dug in sprocket, slide them off and very carefully file any digs smooth with a needle file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a second hand ck hub a while agoe where the sprocket had literally dug its way half way round the alloy driveshell. As I didn't have a wide base sprocket at the time I was just seriously careful with the dremel, and it worked fine. But I think forteh's idea is the best!
