This is the genuine article from Park ... I would recommend
using this chain whip, or something high-quality, such as the
TORX ST-501A. Removing a freewheel, simple as it sounds, if not
done yearly, may result in a freewheel that is hard to remove as
removing a tooth from a jaw, for example. Its important to
have a spare chain whip, in case one breaks ... I had a cheap
whip from the PRON toolkit, that just broke. Also, be sure to
have PAINT THINNER / degreaser liquid nearby to clean the cassette,
as well as a CHAIN SCRUBBER such as the TORX ST-790 which really
cleans the inside very well from its semi-circular brush shape.
Also handy, is WD-40, to loosen this up, and a small sledge hammer.
A grease gun is essential, loaded with grease to lube up the inside
of the ball-bearings allowing the wheel to rotate, and the regular
detergent and high pressure water hose to clean potential dirt
accumulated from mult years of neglect. Perhaps an extra cassette would
be good, if you break off any tooth on the cassette during the process
of removing the freewheel.
