When I first tried getting the freewheel off I thought having the lever arm torque of the rim diameter was going to make it a cinch. Then the vise started twisting on my. I clamp it to my bench when I need it. Tightened it with helpers on the clamp handles. Still no go. Got bigger clamps, and REALLY tightened them. Still no budging. Am I turning the wrong way? Double checked, nope, I got it right or correct.
Finally gave it one more steady constant hard pull and it CRACKED when it let go.
I was really beginning to have my doubts if I was going to get it off.
No telling how this bike had been treated during its life so I'm sure weather, water and dirt all played a part in making it tight.
