Troubleshooting

Verify that the freewheel is a Suntour model with a 2-pin design. This tool is not compatible with other freewheel types (e.g., Shimano splined).
Freewheel is difficult to remove.
Ensure the tool is fully seated. Apply steady, firm pressure. If the freewheel is very stubborn, consider using a chain whip for added stability on the cassette body and ensure you are turning the tool in the correct (counter-clockwise) direction.

Check for debris in the freewheel's pin slots or on the tool's pins. Ensure the tool is correctly aligned with the freewheel's pins.
