I bought the Park tool to remove the Schwinn kickstand and got it in the mail today. WOW it works so easy. I took off a couple of kickstands with the channelock method and it worked ok but it was a bit (ok it was a pita ) so I ordered one. Now when I get the Continental back from the powdercoat shop and start putting it back together I won't mess up that nice shiney RED color. I think I'll just rent my kickstand removal services out
