Removing Freewheel with hosed up tool interface - thoughts?
My saga of of fun with my "free" Torpado continues.
I have a regina freewheel (circa 1983/84) that I need to take off. I was by a LBS and the wheel was in the trunk so I figured I would save time and for once not buy a new tool and have them take the free wheel off.
The took one look and said no go. Somewhere in the past some on mangled the the freewheel. where there should be nice square holes there are now nice mangled ramps.
Of course I tried my self and goofed it up more.
How can I get this thing off without using the extractor? My thoughts are 1) try to create new square edges for an extractor, or 2) take the cogs off (sure to be another bit of fun) and get a grep on the freewheel body somehow or 3) fill it with epoxy and use a chain whip to unscrew the bugger.
bright ideas apprecciated
