Hi

Does anyone know how to remove a Shimano MF-Z015?

All the best

Noting that MF stands for multiple FREEWHEEL should help

Well, it would if I was a bike technician, I suppose. Thanks.

for general information on freewheels (and links to the more modern
Shimano freehub/cassette system) see:

http://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_e-f.html#freewheel

Shimano offer a tool TLFW30 for their recent (post 85?) freewheels.

Park do range of high quality tools and also have excellent on-line
information on the proper way to use them.

The specifics on the freewheel and cassette tools are here:

http://www.parktool.com/tool_indexes/catindex_fr.shtml

with links from each tool that tell you how to use them. Sometimes they
suggest the use of special tools that might be useful in a professional
context but are not essential.

The need for the correct freewheel tool can't be avoided unless you are
happy to spend some time destroying the freewheel and have a (large)
appropriate general purpose tool to remove the last bit. Since freewheel
parts are made from very hard steel and may bite back harder than the
teeth of a Stilson wrench or other similar tool can stand there is a
risk of spoiling a large expensive tool to save the fairly modest cost
of the proper tool.

Are the Shimano freewheel remover thingies the same splines as used on
modern cassette lockrings? Or will I need a new tool?

One in the same but good luck. Sometimes
very hard to remove. I'll take removing a cassette any day over a
freewheel. Only one freewheel left.
