If its the miche primato that you have, I used a park freewheel remover on mine and it worked perfectly.

That's the Campag pattern one, so it is. I use the Cyclo Campag tool and it's the same but cheaper and nastier.

Park Tool BBT-5 should do it, or read here. (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=60891)

Wont those MICHE ones just loosen up and fall out if you just keep riding it for awhile anyway?

no they won't if you tightened them properly in the first place...

well, the Italian threaded version probably actually does.
