Sachs Maillard freewheel removal

[FINNEY1973]

Need to remove one - doesn't accept the standard splined tool - I think it's a FW6-4 so has that different fixing - what would be the correct tool to get it removed please?

Cheers

Does it have 12 slots?

Re:

Can't get to the slots - there's a plate / alternative two slot cover that requires a different tool. It's something akin to a two slot bmx freewheel arrangement?

Back when they made 6 and 7 freewheels out of 5 speed bodies sometimes you had to chain whip off the smallest sprockets to get at the splines. Sounds odd though, any pics?

Just thinking, is it a cover like the Regina America?

Indeed, had a quick go with two chainwhips but no movement.

Same as this; http://www.hilarystone.com/images/sale% ... -12-17.jpg

Re:

It looks like the same tool I use to remove my Ultra 6 freewheel.

Ah, that looks like an inset Suntour two prong remover type design

There's suntour two notch tools from Park Tools - looks like that will do the trick - off to ebay - again :facepalm:

Cheers - another mystery solved.
