Stumped!
How do I get the rest of the gears and body off this freewheel? Little lock ring threaded off and the first few pulled off. The next one in line is held by a little ledge and is not designed to come off like the others (as far as I know)

I'm not sure what model this is but several early freewheels had the largest couple of cogs that threaded on from the BACK.

Perhaps http://sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html will help you out.
Out of curiosity, why are you disassembling the freewheel in the first place? Replacements are generally cheap enough that it's not worth rebuilding them. If you're trying to remove the freewheel to service the wheel hub bearings, then you're going at it all wrong. You need a freewheel removal tool and a big adjustable wrench and the entire freewheel will come off as a unit. |

Maybe Sheldon Brown will chime in with the solution. |

Oh the shame! I could have SWORN there were no splines in there but the FR1 found them! Thanks for your patience.
