New (no-name) freewheel replacement, help
Well I want to replace a freewheel on a old bike, it has a shimano freewheel on currently, now to remove it, I am assuming I need to buy the shimano freewheel removal locknut thing, so I can use a good adjustable wrench to remove it without the need for a chain whip tool.
But this is the part I am confused about, I want to replace the shimano freewheel with a freewheel that came with my broke down GMC denali road bike, its a no - name freewheel, will the shimano freewheel tool work with the no name freewheel so I can tighten the freewheel on to the axle? Or Do I just tighten it without the shimano freewheel tool? The freewheel is a no name but was made quite recently, and usually walmart bikes parts are interchangeable. I just dont want to look like a fool when I try to replace the new freewheel and I cant get the job done with my toolset.
