TheChai Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I tired the tool i have in the bike shop i work in, but it doesnt seem to fit in the grooves properly. bolted it up anyway and turned it with a big crowbar, but it just dug into the tabs. The tabs seem to be a bit smaller then the standard freewheel size. Anyone have any ideas on how i can get it off? Ideally wanna be able to use the freewheel again.. the cranks on the other hand can be burnt/sawed etc.. just hopefully not too time consuming..any ideas would be greatThanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 You sure an ACS freewheel remover tool won't do the trick? What type do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 The tool for it has been out of stock everywhere for the past year as far as I can see - I've been looking for one for about that long with no success ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 By the way, what tool would I need to take off a Tensile? It's a pretty weird shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 yeah the eno tabs are smaller...you either need the eno tool or a really new "normal" one that isn't worn (or file it flat again)adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've got a big ass bulky ACS one and that does the job perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Try taking the lockring off first, I found my Cyclo (or something) one hit the lockring and wouldn't sit in right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Try taking off the whole freewheel, eg. Lock ring, Teeth, springs and Pawls, which will give you a greater purchase with the tool, and will save you messing up the lockring?

eskimo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ask Tarty for a date on when they're getting them in? Also try Delta as they stock lots of Eno stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
