🔧 Sun Tour 2 Notch Freewheel Remover by Park Tool Review

A unique tool these days as modern bikes no longer use freewheels. However, if you are working on a vintage bike and need to remove the freewheel from the hub, you will likely need either a Shimano spline tool or this one. Just check your ratchet to see how many grooves or slots it has and choose the right tool.

I have a 1982 Univega Supra Sport and had trouble removing the freewheel. I ordered a similar product before receiving this freewheel parking tool, but it didn't have angled edges that I had a good grip on when loosening it with a wrench. I chose this fr-2 freewheel removal tool and was not disappointed. I was able to remove the freewheel without much effort. Spikes are strong. My only regret is not buying this one first rather than wasting money on a poor quality freewheel puller that I…

Works great with a perfect early 80's Suntour ratchet. I love this ratchet. They were well designed. " Opening at the end of the handle. Try it, works great). No problem removing the freewheel. Once it loosened a bit, the axle nut came loose and the ratchet started spinning. Worth every penny freewheel apart and swapping bearings wasn't necessary as it turned out, but he did it anyway.

I have a 45 year old Tom Ritchey road bike frame that has most of the Campagnolo parts installed with the exception of the freewheel Mechanism that is Maeda (Santour). It's "two-pronged" and those ratchets can be a nasty headache to get rid of. Especially if I didn't have a proper parking tool, but I had a two prong miracle I performed in a high school class in 1974 that actually worked. But believe me, the Park model is MUCH better! (See photo) Freewheel removal is best done with a vise, not a

This tool does exactly what it's supposed to do. I benefited from watching Park Tool's YouTube video featuring Calvin Jones. The video states that with the bike axle to hold the tool, you can use more force when unscrewing the sprocket. I used a large adjustable wrench and a large rubber mallet to break open an old 1980's sprocket. If I hadn't seen the video it would have been very difficult to remove the star. I also bought a Big Blue Book Of Bicycle Repair from Calvin. Jones. It contains a…

I really don't understand Park Tool and their hatred of people who want to use their products with an outlet, the thing is too small for any short outlet. Why not craft them with the ability to use them with a crowbar or ratchet? This would make it infinitely easier to use instead of worrying about your removal tool fully seating and wrecking your flywheel. Why would I need this when I'm deleting something that has been severely dragged out for 30+ years? I think you're better off taking a…

My bike from the 1980's with Suntour components. This tool will properly adjust the freewheel. Unfortunately, my ratchet seems stuck on the hub and I may never be able to free it. A note: it is important to secure it to the ratchet with the hub nut. Because it only has two lugs, it doesn't sit securely on the freewheel for the torque required. Sufficient torque can be applied by putting the hub nut back on the axle after it has been put on. If like me you have a quick release buckle you can…

I was a frame builder and bike shop manager/mechanic in the early 80's and recently converted the first bike I built from one of my frames - mine. Having not needed a Suntour freehub tool for a while, I couldn't find my 20 year old 2-notch Suntour tool. did I say 20 years? Gesha time flies by. I should have said almost 40 years (circa 1982) - as long as a bike and a frame. So I had no choice but to buy a new one. Most of my tools that I've bought over the last 20 years or so are Park (or Campy)
