The Park Tool FR-2 Freewheel Remover is an essential specialty tool designed for bicycle mechanics and enthusiasts working on older Sun Tour two-notch freewheels. Its primary benefit is the thin-wall construction, which eliminates the need to disassemble axle cones or locknuts before removal, saving significant time during maintenance. While highly durable, users should note that this tool is specifically engineered for a narrow range of legacy components and will not fit modern cassette or freewheel standards.

No, this tool is specifically designed for Sun Tour two-notch freewheels and will not fit Shimano splined cassettes.
No, the thin-wall construction allows the tool to fit over the axle, so you do not need to remove cones or locknuts.
It is not recommended. Manual force with a long-handled wrench or a bench vise provides better control and reduces the risk of damaging the notches.
The base is 1 inch, making it compatible with a standard adjustable wrench or most shop-grade freewheel sockets.
The skewer prevents the tool from sliding off the freewheel under heavy pressure, which protects both the tool and the freewheel notches from stripping.
Ensure you are using a quick-release skewer or axle nut to firmly hold the tool against the freewheel. Increase the pressure applied by the skewer.
Clear out any dirt or grit from the freewheel notches using a pick or compressed air. Verify that your freewheel is a Sun Tour two-notch style.
Setup: Ensure the freewheel notches are clean of debris before inserting the tool. Always verify that the tool is fully seated into the two notches. Using a skewer to keep the tool pressed against the freewheel is the standard operating procedure to prevent tool slippage and component damage.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible exclusively with Sun Tour two-notch freewheels. The notches measure 25mm from outside to outside, and the internal bore is 10mm. It is not compatible with Shimano or other spline-based locking systems.
Care: Wipe the tool clean with a shop rag after each use. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation, although the heat-treated finish is resistant to environmental corrosion.
