I know Campy made their own tool, but it's expensive and difficult to find. I was kind of hoping I could find an aftermarket alternative. |

I don't know what your freewheel looks like - does it have two notches for removal? In that case, Bicycle Research makes the aftermarket tool, which appears to be available at bicycletool.com. However, in many cases like this, unless you're going to be removing a freewheel several times, the best and inexpensive solution is to take the wheel to a shop that's been around for a while and has all these removers in a drawer, and have them bust it loose for you.

I know Campy made their own tool, but it's expensive and difficult to find. I was kind of hoping I could find an aftermarket alternative. I just removed a bmx freewheel using the "destructive" method, as it's raining buckets and I wanted to see how "destructive" it really was. Seems like if you're really careful with collecting all the bearings and pawls, you *should* be able to remove the body w/o damaging it. I used channel-lock pliers, but gentle clamping in a bench vise would be better. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, plus it gives you a chance to really get that sucker clean. Like another poster mentioned, a well established bike shop is the least painful method. Mine charges $6 to pull a cassette or freewheel. |

Campagnolo Freewheel Removal
Given that Euro-Asia still has a very generous selection of cogs for
these freewheels, and in VG condition they sell (used) for about $200 on ebay, I'd take extra-special care of your campy freewheel. find someone (or an LBS) that has the campy tool and knows what they're doing to remove it. I think these have a titanium body, which lasts and lasts and lasts. - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |
