5 out of 5 stars Works as advertised   August 19, 2009

I used one of these to replace a Shimano MF-HG37 14-28T freewheel with an MF-HG40 14-34T freewheel.

I pulled the wheel off, pulled the quick-release skewer out, slipped this tool in, and then, using a 10" crescent wrench popped the old freewheel off instantly.

I set the wheel on the floor standing up, as if it were on a bike, with the wrench parallel to the ground. I used my weight to turn the wrench, and the tire kept the wheel from turning. No muss, no fuss.



5 out of 5 stars Quality tool, does the job just like it should   November 26, 2009

It's a pretty simple tool, but you can't remove a freewheel without it. Like most Park Tool products I've used, this is a good quality piece and it fit snugly and precisely in my Shimano freewheel. I used a medium-sized crescent wrench to turn it, which any serious bike mechanic really should have.

This DOES remove the cheap DPN 7-speed MegaGear freewheel that came with my 2007 Schwinn Sierra GS from our local bike shop, they are also found on many other bikes in modest price category.
The tool works great.

I can't complain. It does what it says. It would have been nice if it fit a 1/2" ratchet (minus one star). Instead I had to use one of my retardedly giant crescent wrenches, which, unless you're one of the Super Mario Brothers, you might not have.


3 out of 5 stars Only works with newer Shimano cassettes   October 9, 2009

Park doesn't state in its description that this tool does not work with hyperglide cassettes. Those, along with the newer SunRace & SRAM cassettes, use the FR-5 tool.
