I removed the locking ring on the Falcon freehub yesterday. I had to use a screwdriver and hammer, which was a bad choice as it almost cut the ring at the notch as the ring was rusted. For the whip, I used a chain draped on a cog and the end was kept down on a rag covered floor with my heel. It worked. I am not able to remove the freehub though, with the correct tool. Need to clamp the free wheel remover to a post with a C clamp as i don't own a vice.
