I cant remember where I read it because what a damn chore I had trying to loosen the freewheel, it was on there.
naturally I was struggling with trying to get it off with the key and a cassette chain whip, and then I read to lock the spanner or ratchet in your vice or in my case an ancient Black & Decker Workmate and turn the wheel as it gives masses of leverage over handballing a spanner.
Might have been here, might have been Sheldons page,, not sure.. so my apologies to the OP but you are a hero in my opinion
Well colour me shocked as after just a little bit of resistance off it came as easy as that.
and a nice clean and a bare rear wheel goes to the community workshop tomorrow to have the bearing(s) replaced.
And to make matters even better I found the old Squire Protector D lock that will make a nice wee retro ornament on the bike as well as providing a legal theft deterrent for the foolish.
Thrilled at such a success, t'was dram time in the sun
