Freewheel removal help This freewheel has been giving me a lot of pain. I can't seem to move it at all with hammer &amp; punch (clockwise). From the videos, it always seems so easy :P

So I'm going to buy a removal tool. Is the FR 1.3 compatible with this, in your opinion?

A few questions:


do I need to put the axle back in, and screw it to the removal tool?
do I need to separately remove the lockring?


What I'm doing this for is to change the ball bearings. They've already come out, so I need to clean inside, put grease and the new balls.
Yes the FR 1.3 should work. Note that you should be turning counterclockwise to remove the freewheel. You do not need to put the axle back in or remove the lock ring. One trick is to secure the tool in a vise pointing upward. Set the wheel onto the tool and use the rim of the wheel to turn the wheel off if the freewheel rather than turning the freewheel off the wheel.
