I have a 5 speed freewheel that I want to remove from the hub but I don't have a tool for it and
neither do any of the bike shops that I have taken it to. I have been told it is a Sugino freewheel.
It required splines tool to remove it. The splines are much finer than on the Shimano freewheels. A
web search didn't help. And there are no markings on the freewheel.
I have two questions. First, is this a Sugino freewheel? I want to positively ID it so that I can
just call bike shops to see if they can remove it. It is five speed, 14-34, and every other tooth
missing from the two largest cogs (it was made that way). It looks similar to the Sachs freewheel on
Sheldon's site:

except for the missing teeth and that my freewheel has a large ring in front of the smallest cog,
covering the cog and its teeth but leaving the center exposed.
Second question is can I buy a removal tool anywhere or is this a hopeless cause?
Thanks in advance, Tom
