Anyone in Melb got a Sachs Normandyt Freewheel tool?
Postby Cognoscente » Wed Dec 18, 2013 11:03 pm
Started restoring a Peugot Mont Blanc I've had hanging around. The Sachs Maillard freewheel I want to get off needs a freewheel removal tool I haven't got (nor has anyone apparently )
I believe what I need is called a Maillard Normandy removal tool. If you have one, chances are you know what I mean - large diameter splined tool.
If anyone has one in Melbourne and is willing for me to come over and remove my freewheel it would be muchly appreciated. Beer can be involved as required.
Cheers,
Glenn

+1, pretty simple to remove with minimal tools, either a vice or a large set of stilsons are required. The outer race referred to above looks like a dust cover from the outside with 2 pin spanner holes in it, just insert a screwdriver tip into one of the holes and tap it loose in a clockwise direction. If you're really keen, it is often possible to remove a freewheel in this manner and re-build it after removal. Very fiddly though.WyvernRH wrote:You can find these on e-bay occasionally. If you don't intend to re-use the freewheel (I wouldn't ) then just undo the outer race and remove the free wheel outer body (balls and bits will fly everywhere) leaving the inner body on the hub. Then clamp the wheel/hub into a vice clamping on the freewheel inner body and rotate the wheel hub to undo the freewheel remains from the hub.

You don't damage the hub at all you just destroy the screw-on freewheel getting it off, leaving the hub intact. Unless the freewheel is in especially good nick, destroying the freewheel is no loss IMHO as these are way obsolete and the chance of of finding replacement sprockets is close to zero. A replacement Shimano 5/6 speed can be had for about $30.

I'm happy to give it a crack. If I bugger it up there's always the replacement route.
