I'm trying to remove my rear cogs - Older Suntour® two notched- FR-2, I have this tool. as per
instructions on http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQcogs.shtml I can't for the life of me get
this cassette off the hub. I'm using > 75 ft-lbs of torque, and it still won't budge. There is no
lockring, but there is something more than the illustrations on the page shows. If I look into the 2
notches there are 2 metal notches that seem to be from a washer inside the hub, but right now they
are not in a position to block the freewheel from coming off, (ie: they are not againstthe notch
wall). I have also used WD40 & Liquid Wrench and there does not appear to be any rust either. Any
suggestions?
The cog cassette itself appears to be a 2 piece unit. Gears 9-12 - 2 smallest cogs is 1st piece,
gears 1-8 on 4 cogs is the 2nd unit. It's possible that the cogs for gears 1-8 are seperate pieces.
I've cleaned the cassette w/ varsol but cannot really tell unless I remove it. There is a washer
seperating these 2 pieces. However it appears that the Suntour fastener that I use the FR-2 tool for
afixes the entire cassette on the hub. So I don't think I need chainwhip tools. There also appears
to be NO lockring on the cassette.
Thanks for your help, Roger
