- Calvin demonstrates how to remove and install a threaded freewheel and choose the correct tool.
Important note!
There's another cog system called a "cassette", and the procedures in this video are for freewheel systems, not cassette systems.
If you're not sure what you've got, watch this other video to help you determine which is which.

Why are we doing this? Sprocket teeth wear over time and no longer engage the chain leading to poor drivetrain train performance and chain skipping. This procedure is also used when replacing the cassette for an upgrade or to changing gear ratios.

This channel has literally saved my life multiple times, and my wallet
Yeah,man
But sadly a dumb mechanic destroyed my free wheel cause he was hammering it also in other way, also opening every parts
I turn into a bike mechanic within 20 mins
Too bad anything from park tool is an overpriced rippoff
@@MrThatnativeguy quality costs money
@@eliassandell4921you’re joking right? Park tool gets everything from china then stamps their name on it, kinda like snap on
This video library is one of the biggest gems on UA-cam. I’ve learned so much over the last few years & I now have a bicycle toolbox filled with the Park Tools I need. Thanks Calvin.
check out mr. moneybags over here
@@jimgray3346 It's a small toolbox wiseass. And I paid $350 apiece for my both my Felts (one road and one tri) and am proud to have taught myself to do all the work on them including even rebuilding my own wheels. No moneybags here, but I'll still be happy to wax your ass out on the road any time you need a good asskicking.
@@jimgray3346 lol
These videos should be saved in a vault in the National Archives. What a great resource
Nobody makes better instructional videos. On any topic. Nobody. Thanks, Calvin.
I hope Calvin knows how valuable these videos are to us all.
I freaking love these Park Tool videos, extremelly well done, clear, educational. More than once I've used these videos to know what parts my bike need and how to install them or adjust them by myself instead of having to rely on some lazy mechanic. Thanks for the videos guys!
Thanks so much for providing these bike repair videos. Very clear presentation. Great camera work.
Thank you. Your videos are very specific and immensely detailed. You squash any uncertainty that people might have about a bicycle repair. I successfully changed my freewheel, chain and derailleur, configured them and had an awesome ride through the forest. Thank you again
I like this video because Calvin Jones told me to. Keep On Keepin On Mr. Jones thanks for all you do.
Awesome video with simple repairs, not a lot of fancy talk, straight forward teaching.
Really useful, thank you. I followed the advice to use a bench vice; this helped me to finally remove the freewheel after much struggling.
Greith explanation i love the way you explained it very professional thank's a lot
Using the vice saved me! After about an hour of trying to get it off with the specialty tool and a wrench and no luck it was my neighbors vice to the rescue. Thanks for the video!
simple, short and straightforward, thank you. Yes, well understated, indeed, it may to a good bit of force to loosen the freewheel!
Excellent video, very clear and straightforward I now know exactly what I need to do. Many thanks!
Thank you for your time and effort Park Tool. helpful and educational as always. Keep up the great work.
I woke up at 1am and decided to change the bearings in my rear rim. This video helped me remove the freewheel. Smooth as silk.
Freewheel removal tip:
I had great amount of trouble using an adjustable wrench as shown in the video (granted my wrench was short so not much torque).
That said I've had great success with the 4-Way Lug Wrench from our car (the cross one used to take tires off). It just so happened ours had a 13/16" socket (21mm) which matched my Shimano freewheel tool.
I hope this helps others in the removal of the freewheel, it's the hardest part of the process.
Ha I thought I was the only one using a 4 way car wrench lol! Peace out cub scouts!
That was my first thought.. then I went to my trunk and picked mine 4-way lug wrench.. but to my surprise my freewheel removal tool was too big to any of the 4 ways.. =/
if your wrench is short and you cant make it happen get a metal pipe, slide it over the length of the wrench and you should be able to do it then, mechanical advantage at work, cheers
Adjustable wrenches always seem like a compromise to me. If not of really good quality there's just too much play in the mechanics of it.
Always better to use a correctly sized tool (reg. spanner or said 4-way lug wrench if matching) instead of a "universal" tool.
I've changed both my freewheel and cassette, but I didn't realize there were so many removal tools. I must have lucked out when I bought the freewheel tool and the cassette tool. I really appreciate your professional videos, Calvin. Thank you.
I recently started cycling, and this channel has been a great help regarding repair and knowing my bike in an outs.... This guys are no BS guys, starting to the point all the time
I wanted to change the spoke protector on my Trek mountain bike because it was old and cracked. I purchased the new protector, but didn’t realize I needed the special tool to get the freewheel off. Your video helped me immensely. I purchased the FR-3 tool and completed the job. The trick in putting the nut on to hold the socket was a game changer. Thank you very much.
The best video I've seen on how to remove/install a free wheel. Thanks!
Quality products, and quality support and advice. That's what I call a solid and honest business.
This company does more for the environment than many multinational businesses do.
great video. Most videos focus only on the newest model of whatever they are showing. Knowing how to deal with the myriad of older model is essential if you are not a mechanic that deals with high end bikes day in and out.
These are the absolute BEST instructional videos on UA-cam.
Thanks for that. You are my go to channel. Never fail.
This one is very simple, but I didn’t know; won’t forget. Thanks again.
Thanks for this high quality video. Saves time knowing what to do.
Very good demo of freewheel removal and installation. Hats off.
Thanks to the whole team at Park Tool for these videos!
Thank you for the lesson. Obrigado , estou aprendendo muito com vocês.
Your videos are sooooo helpful and clear and professional!
Thanks for the info! Busted a couple spokes and needed to figure out how to take the freewheel off my hub. Instead of just replacing one or two bad ones. I'm going to go ahead and replace all.

Love using your tools, best tools for bicycles.
This video alien just got my lido a follow. Helpful and to the point! No nonsense. Love it.
Thx guys! Helped me a lot. And an easy enough tutorial for a pea brain like me to understand ;) Cheers!
Very thorough and easy explanation, thanks!
Yes, I found a chanel with professional help! Thanks mate keep going👍👌✌
4 years later the content is still relevant 👍
Hands up if your FR-2 is chowdered.
I was curious to see how you would spin this video past 40seconds. No surprise, you delivered the goods.
The best video of explaining this job. Thank you 🙏🏽
Mindblowing free video tutorial......can't believe my eyes....
MANY MANY THANKS, I have a very old bicicle, and i din't know what xtractor i needed, i need a FR-2, thanks again!
This was the most helpful video I've seen thus far on this subject. Knowing there are EXACT tools for each type of freewheel is a HUGE help. The tool I bought before was obviously fir a different freewheel. I also din't know about anti-seize goop.
Next up will be looking at derailleur and maybe, just maybe attempt at repacking berrings inside a wheel. I never thought I'd have to practically become a bicycle mechanic but so many businesses have closed down.
That shop! WOW!! Drooooool.
Cheers.
The two nearest biek shops to me are 45 minutes in opposite directions. On the one hand tht is annoying for tasks, such as truing, I have difficulty with due to vision. On the other 'eh it's part of owning a bike.'
you rock man, this was really helpful, thanks
Your videos are very well done! Thank you!
Park Tools has the best repair videos on bike repair out there!
You guys are great...very well thought out videos, well produced and detailed...thank you for all your help
Thanks for watching!
That's a great idea on using the vice. I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't think of that on my own. Thank you.
Park Tool makes the very best and most detailed bike service videos. Love every one of them. I learn something every time I view them, and I work on a lot of different bikes. The info here is very valuable. The Park Tool FR1.3 is the go-to tool in our shop for many types of repairs- bent axles, bearings, swapping bad freewheels, broken spokes, etc. It fits so many of the cheap freewheels that are out there, and we see a lot of them. But I really can't agree with the usage depicted of the FR1.3. If you use an adjustable wrench with it, and encounter a stuck freewheel, you WILL break this too. I have several now, cracked right in half. Our old old trusty FR1.1 is still going strong because it has a thicker drive end. The 1.3 is just too thin, and adjustable wrenches place too much strain on just 2 flats. Yet this video, and the packaging for 1.3 says to use an adjustable wrench. I need a heavy-duty alternative, maybe even a tool formed onto the end of a flat bar so it's reinforced.
Thank you for making this very helpful video!
Always my go to. Thanks Calvin.
The bit at 5:00 putting the tool in the vice. I must have spent 30 minutes sodding about trying to the thing off until I saw that. Thank you.
Great tip to use the Axle nut on the tool. Thanks
You guys are the best so educational and inspiring
This is a super helpful video. Thanks!!
wow. These videos are so detailed I am going to buy a Park tool as a thank you.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Really Useful, ThAnKs. Simply Put, Really Simply .... made comprehending it a "sinch"
Yes indeedie. This video was very detailed and thorough and helped me out so THANKS for that. I will be performing this exact process on my 26inch mountain bike. I bought a new rear rim, freewheel and tool for the freewheel. Thanks 4 sharing! U now have a New Subscriber...Me. Cheers and Happy 2024 !!!😎😎😎
thank you for perfect demonstrations
*Best and the smoothest channel in the universe❤*
I was thinking i had a hub, and that the lock ring was stuck. Pfff did i try to get that thing loose. I need to pay more attention to these very good vids. When i finaly, easely screwed the cassette off, i was very happy😀
Thank you for your help Calvin
thank you for the explanation for how to find out what tool I need
Superb video, thank you so much.
Great video, thank you so much for the great details, such good instruction!
Always thumb up for Calvin
a funny learning experience story below:
i spent two days struggling with removing a screw on cassette, as I referred to it. wrongly. and so, I took the tools I was using, and the wheel to my local shop. i showed him my chain whip, wrench and FR1 and asked I doing something wrong. Nope, he says and charged me to remove it. i had to remove it today and had the same issue. NO CHAIN WHIP needed ! stupid me for not knowing and trusting those clowns.
Thank You Calvin !!!
This guy is a pure genius. Have you seen how fast he changes a tube and tyre. Well jel.
