Hello again, since I had a good response from my last post, I thought I'd try my luck again with another issue; actually two. Number one, I'm planning to substitute my spoked 26" rim with a 16" spoke less rim, actually it would entail to substitute the spoked rotor with a spoke less rotor on my...

Finally! It finally gave in, I guess with persistence and patience and the help from the people in this forum I accomplished the task. I almost gave up though. After trying what some of you guys suggested, the extractor was slipping off the vise too (I could have used the big extractor at this...

Amazon.com unfortunately doesn't ship to Europe (or at least Italy) I'll have to rely on Amazon.it and they don't always have the same item; in fact they rarely do have the same items...

That's better! I will inquire what the shipping costs are. If too expensive, I try to find it locally. The wall on this one look thicker and the extractor seems a lot sturdier then the one I have; I'll need it for what I'm faced, this freewheel is very stubborn. Thanks Harry

Thanks Harry, would the 1.3 in FR1.3 represent the diameter of the inside hole? If yes, I think it would correspond to 13mm, which would be too small and it wouldn't slip over the 13.86mm (.545") motor shaft. The hole's diameter would have to be at least 14mm. Grazie

All of the wires come out from the control box (not from the shaft) located on the opposite side of the freewheel, so we must be talking about different motors...

From what I read here and tomjasz's suggestion to look up Google, it look's like the motor in question has a freewheel! And I still have the hard task at hand to get it off. Thank to all that helped...

Most of these extractors though, have a small center hole and won't fit my motor's axle being that it's over half inch (.545") in diameter I had to enlarge the hole of the one I bought to make it fit, it was tough because it's hardened steel and none of my drill bits worked, I had to use a file...

As I was walking out to the garage I read tomjasz suggesting that it's not a cassette! At this point I'm back to square one. What happens if I screw out the ring anyway and it turn out to be a freewheel? Isn't there a way to tell before taking them out?

So, John if it's a cassette type the extractor wouldn't help unscrewing it, it would slide out once I remove the ring? I did see the guy in the video unscrewing it, and it was the same motor; of course he didn't show the beginning of the video using the extractor tool. Basically if I remove...

It makes a lot of sense Harry, never thought of clamping down the extractor on on the vise, and turning the motor instead, should give me a lot more leverage. You asked if I had the freewheel or the cassette, would one or the other change something in the way to use the extractor?

Thanks for your answer 6zfshdb , I will get the kit and try it. I also wanted a confirmation that the direction of the extractor is correct from someone who has taken the cassette off of this motor. I've tried finding videos on Youtube, but everything I've found so far, is "how to install", I...

Good morning to all. I was hoping someone would be able to give me some advise on how to remove the cassette (or freewheel. I got to be honest, I'm not sure what I have). Can you confirm that the extractor needs to be turned in a counter clockwise direction? For this reason I didn't insist in...
