Cassette Change

[John King]

Hi.

Going around a hair pin turn with my less than adequate high speed
skills I went off road and did a job on my rear wheel.

I have some other wheels to use ... but got to get cassette switched
over. Park tool I have does not seem to insert very far at all into
the Campy cassette. Is that as far in as it is supposed to go? I don't
want to strip the lockring or something.

I found the cassette remover.... now all I have to do is find the
chain whip tool I bought a year ago. *S*

Thank you.

John

You have to hold it on while loosening with a Q/R skewer.

I had the same problem. I solved it by tapping that sucker down into the
lockring with a hand cresent wrench; it works great now on both my Campy and
Shimano hubs. For some reason, even though mine said it was for a Campy
cassette, it didn't want to seat down in there either. Good luck. Give it
a tap; it is soft enough metal that it will go down and not hurt the tougher
lockring.

Thread the skewer through the axle. Put the cassette tool onto the lock
ring. Screw the skewer nut down to the cassette tool. The skewer nut
should rest loosely on top of the cassette tool. With chain whip in
place use the big box wrench to remove lock ring. The skewer nut will
hold the cassette removal tool in place as you apply force.
