Krisboats Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 lol ok but i really wanted to do it today and now way of getting one what about screwdriver as it a pile of crap freewheel anyways?pimpI think you'll find the freewheel is quite well attached if you've already used the wheel for a little while. Ask your local bike shop if they can pop it off for you, they shouldn't charge you a lot, if anything.If it has tabs on it like the dicta and ACS freewheels then you maybe be able to do it using a screwdriver and a mallet, but you need a large flat headed screwdriver as the smaller ones will dig into the tab your trying to knock round.Be warned, using a hammer and screw driver increases the chances of you damaging the threads as your unscrewing it. So be careful when you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJtrials Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 If this is still any use, I know how to do it but it means dismantling the freewheel and it will not be re-usable...??1.There will be 2 small punch holes on the freewheel, get a punch or if must, use a screw driver and a hammer, place the punch in the hole and hit it clockwise with the hammer ( opposite threads ).2.The cover will come off, lift up the freewheel, all the gubbings such as the bearings, pawls and springs will fall out so have a tub handy to put them into.3. I would clean all the grease off the bit that will be left on the wheel/crank. You must have a big vice for this bit, if the vice is too small it will slip out. Place the wheel/crank in the vice on the remainder of the freewheel. You also need muscles to do this part too lol. These threads are standard thread direction (anti-clockwise), you need to pull on the crank/wheel until it comes loose, then remove it from the vice and thats it.Easy really unless you want to keep the freewheel which you are removing.Cheers, hope I made sense and helped you..

Mike W Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 If you dont need the freewheel anymore just crush it in a vice then turn the wheel, freewheels are normal threads mike W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryabean Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 or you could weld it and get a chain whip thats what i did thats if you no longer want it to be a free wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Well the reason i was getting the eno off in the first place was because i'd just bought new cranks. So now i need to spend more and get a free wheel which is gay.EDIT: oh and CJ, the 'punch holes' you refer to are on the lockring, which won't budge Edited April 1, 2007 by Barber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 What did you do exactly?Probably slipped and rounded the tabs off...I preffer the whole dismantling and using a monkey wrench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 get it fixed firm some where and get a flat head screw driver and and a bloodly big mallet and just keep hitting it. Ive got loads of free wheels off this way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Probably slipped and rounded the tabs off...I preffer the whole dismantling and using a monkey wrench...Thats exactly what happened.I stuck the tool on, used an old hub axle with two bolts to keep it on, got an adjustable spanner on the tool, used a bar for leverage then raped the tabs. Along with the lockring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJtrials Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 EDIT: oh and CJ, the 'punch holes' you refer to are on the lockring, which won't budge Ok, I'll bare that in mind, I didn't know the real name but I knew what I meant, I was only trying to give advice...CJ..
