I’ve got an older 80s wheel with a Regina 7 speed freewheel (I assume it’s freewheel and not a cassette) on a Dura Ace hub.

I want to remove the freewheel to service the hub, but there seems to be a cap or something covering the center area where the removal tool goes.

Does this thing just pop off? Is there a trick to getting it off? I don’t want to go prying at it and mess it up if there’s something I’m not seeing.

Thanks!

Make one more post, to get you to 10, then post a photo.

Yeah, it just pops off, should be easy.

The cap can be removed by hand. Take a slim flat screwdriver if its a little difficult to pop out.

Thanks for the replies. That’s what I was hoping but I didn’t want to mess it up some how.

And I think i can post pictures now. so this is what I’ve got.

I guess I’ll find out what sort of removal tool I’ll need once I get back out to the garage. I’m thinking it would be a splined fr-4?
