FAQs
What type of freewheels does this tool remove?
This tool is specifically designed for 4-notch BMX freewheels with 12, 13, or 14 teeth.
Can I use this tool on a standard road bike freewheel?
No, this tool is not compatible with standard bicycle freewheels. It is exclusively for BMX freewheels with the specified notch and tooth count.
How do I properly seat the tool?
Slide the tool firmly into the notches of the BMX freewheel, ensuring it is fully engaged to prevent slipping during removal.
What is the best way to remove a stubborn freewheel?
Ensure the tool is properly seated. Apply steady counter-clockwise pressure. A chain whip can provide additional leverage. For very stubborn freewheels, applying a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to sit may help loosen it.
Where is this tool manufactured?
This Super B freewheel removal tool is made in Taiwan.
Will this tool work if my BMX freewheel has a different number of teeth?
This tool is designed for freewheels with 12, 13, or 14 teeth. It may not engage correctly or work as intended with freewheels having a different tooth count.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not engage with freewheel notches
Verify that the freewheel is a 4-notch BMX type and has 12, 13, or 14 teeth. Ensure no debris is obstructing the notches. The tool may not be compatible with the specific freewheel if it's not of the correct type or tooth count.
Tool slips during removal attempt
Ensure the tool is fully seated within the freewheel notches. Apply consistent, even pressure. If the freewheel is exceptionally tight, a chain whip may be needed for leverage, or a penetrating lubricant might help loosen it prior to removal. Check for wear on the tool's notches.
Difficulty turning the tool
The freewheel may be seized or cross-threaded. Use a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak in. Ensure you are turning the tool counter-clockwise. If the freewheel is significantly damaged or corroded, professional assistance might be required.
