Old Raleigh single-speed freewheel removal
A friend has an old Raleigh clone which needs the rear bearings replaced. There doesn't seem to be any obvious flats for a Prk FR6 or similar tool to remove the freewheel, only two circular pin-holes. Does anyone know the proper tool/technique to use here? Better, is it likely he can replace the balls without removing the sprocket?

If you can undo one of the cones then it should all just come apart.

It may well be an Atom splined remover depending on your Raleigh year and model. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971
