Hello Pat, I would try and make sure it is all the way in the body of the freewheel first and use a vice not a wrench. If it still slips the tool may be worn out ask a shop if they have one and can they take it off and last take the face plate off remove the outer part of the body and clamp the inner body in a vice and turn. Have fun. Steven Willis 1778 East Second Street Scotch Plains NJ 07076 908-322-3330 http://www.thebikestand.com

> I'm trying to remove a freewheel, Shimano 600 (model 6208) 6speed. I have a Shimano FW tool TLFW 30, and an ELDI FW tool 2646. Both fit the freewheel, (the Shimano tool is more snug, and therfore probably a more correct tool). When I attempt to remove the FW, the splines on the tool slip (jump?). Am I using the wrong tool? What recourse do I have if the tool is correct? I really want that FW removed. Any Ideas?
