Quick, I need some help - ghetto cog removal
ok, if anyone's on at this time of night...
basicly you can assume I dont have any tools (actually I've alot, just not a cog removal tool). What's your advice for removing a super stuck cog? I've removed the lockring and the thing's not budging - I've been riding it around trying to lock in a skid vicious enough to remove it but to no avail.
Anyone have some tips?

Sweet. Rotafix works better to get the cog off than on (actually it probably works just as well to get that sucker on).

aka mattio
yeah, i was going to say reverse-rotafix it, but i was also going to say CHEATER BAR, which is just about my favorite tool, ever.
put a chainwhip on that muther, and stick a long pipe over the handle of the chainwhip. you've just given yourself a bajillion more foot-pounds of torque.
torque is the shiznit!!!!!
