Thanks. If you didn’t run the freewheel spa, I would have assumed a good drip. But you made me think of a spa, so I was thinking of an immersive treatment.
I’ll keep the OA away from the FW. Maybe someday it will actually get used.
Meanwhile, I’m waiting for the neighbor to dig out the impact wrench that will be applied to the Park FW tool that fits this splined Shimano FW.
