How do you remove the cogs from the freewheel?
Does this method prevent you from having to redish?
Redishing: Only needed if you respace the rear axle.
Removing cogs: With 2 chain wips. 1 to hold the freewheel in the forward direc tion and 1 to loosen the outer cogs by turning them counterclockwise.
Freewheel cogs are held together in any number of ways the most common style you'll find has the first 4 or 5 cogs sliding onto splines with the outer 1 or 2 cogs screwing on to hold everything together.
To be honest with you if have a cassette wheel available your better off using it rather than using a complete freewheel and removing a few cogs.
