SS Freewheel removal

[subforry]

We have been seeing more and more SS freewheels where it seems that BRW don't have the tool to remove it.  It turns out BRW doesn't have a tool because there isn't a tool.   Some new Shimano freewheels and many others are non-removable.

Here is a Park Tool article on how to "destructively" remove these freewheels with pics of non-removable freewheels.

Main trick is that the freewheel cover is left hand threaded (CW to loosen, CCW to tighten).

Thanks for posting this.  It makes it all look so brilliantly simple.
