Which tool to use for this single speed freewheel
Hey folks my first post!
I have a wheel set I purchased about 2 years ago from "Wheel and Sprocket" It was the Tec9 Deep V 43mm with flip-flop hubs. It came with a cheap stamped 16t track cog and a 16t "Great wall freewheel" The freewheel is not being used anymore so I want to take it off. All the website I look at show splines on the inside of the freewheel that a tool catches onto, mine does'nt have them? I have learned my lesson with the cheap stuff!!
Heres a exact copy of my freewheel- except for the name. Please help me out!

Those holes are for a pin tool like this: https://www.parktool.com/products/det...=25&item=SPA-6
It will allow you to disassemble the freewheel so you can clamp the body in a bench vise and unscrew it from your hub. No splines or tabs means this is the only way you're going to be able to do that.
Those cheap freewheels are for children's bikes and aren't designed to be serviceable. As you've learned, they should be avoided.
edit: Wait, is it like the one in your link or the one in your picture? Neither one is the brand you mentioned!

Try the Park Tool website ( parktool.com ). You may have to engage the two "slots" at 2:30 and 8:30 with the proper tool.
