The only problem is that I'm not sure which tool to get to have the right one. I have one to remove the cassette on my vintage Bianchi (sunny sunday ride) but it doesn't fit on any of my other wheels. I don't want to order a tool if I'm not sure it will fit. How do I do that?
You have to determine if it's a cassette or free wheel and the brand.
IF a cassette, you'll need a chain whip too. Unless it's a Uniglide cassette which uses 2 chain whips and no lock ring tool.

Post here what you have.
