However, Park lists their FR-7 as being specifically for Falcon freewheels. You're probably better off having the shop remove yours instead of buying a tool.
Yup. Looks like you are right. I went to the LBS. They had one in stock and I snagged it. It took a while for them to dig it out from the store room, but not bad for $8. They were willing to help out though. It was nice of them to do so.

One problem, I don't have a wrench big enough for the FR-7 tool. Iwill need a bigger wrench.

Some pics:







One piece cranks use "open" bearings. These are pretty much universal and you should have no problem picking up a couple from your LBS.
Ok. That's good news. I might keep some spare bearings in hand. Dirt biking sure is fun. I bet I will ware em out :-)


It's gonna snow 8" tonight. I am guessing no biking this weekend, so I will have time to work on it and keep busy

Cheers.
