In order to get off a Shimano free-wheel body (free-hub type) you have to remove the axle and use a big Allen (hex) spanner or the Shimano removing tool - and a lot of oomph.
As I have about four rear wheels in very nice condition, I would like to replace the 7 speed freewheels with 9 or 10 speed. I know how to build/true/dish a wheel so that isn't a problem. I realise that I will also require appropriate axles and packing.
My question is, will a 9 or a 10 speed body fit the hub shell, or have Shimano changed the thread / fitting?
I appreciate your advice / knowledge.
