If a shop is telling the OP that it can't be done, she needs to go to another shop.
i agree.
seems like Shimano hadn't agreed yet on differentiating a freewheel from what would eventually be called a freehub either. guess it was a time of transition, so i suppose they should be cut a little slack.
BTw, if you see the OP tell him or her? to just get a new 7 speed chain regardless. like birds of a feather,... buy chain and cassette together...
