WTB freewheel removal tool for JMoyne 4-speed freewheel

[BlackRockJohhny]

Hello!

I need a tool that can remove a JMoyne 4-speed freewheel. The pic below shows the freewheel.
This is on a 1960 Schwinn Varsity.
Feel free to call me at 214 901 1611 or send email to [email protected]

Thanks!

This freewheel uses a two prong remover that is notorious for being a pain in the butt. The next best thing is a #8 easy out with about 1/4 inch taken off the end so it does not bottom out on the hub and/or dust cap. The axle must be removed from the hub and you can pull these off with ease and very little damage.

I've been lucky a few times and have got them off with this two prong remover I got from a LBS in a box of misc tools. I think it's newer but it fits them decent enough to try. I usually try this first but with only enough force to not cause any harm.

After my experience with many of those two prong freewheels, I'd suggest the easy out like mentioned above. It's not worth the time and effort using the freewheel tool since it will peel that soft lip right off the freewheel in most cases.

I wonder how many pages have been duplicated. I noticed that page 28 showing the easy out was duplicated.

Thanks, Schwinn499! That did the trick!
