Removing a bicycle freewheel the proper way | TheBikeTube.com

First you need to identify the correct freewheel tool for the job. You also need to have the correct freewheel tool handy. In this case it was a Regina freewheel tool, mmmm Regina. When removing a freewheel the trick is to hold the freewheel tool firmly in place so it doesn't move when you are wrenching on it. To do this you can use the skewer to hold the freewheel tool in place while you use a large wrench or vise to grasp the free wheel. Always turn the freewheel counter clockwise to remove it.

IF you have an extremely stubborn freewheel, the vise is probably the best option, but make sure not to put any downward pressure on to the wheel, so as not to taco the rim. Even if you like tacos, you don't want to do this.
