    That's not for a cassette hub but rather for a screw on one – you use a tool that fits the splines you can see inside the cassette.

    Two chain whips. One to hold the largest sprocket whilst you unscrew the smallest sprocket anti-clockwise.

    FREEWHEEL tool, freewheel tool slots into the slotty bit. And undo with a spanner, rather like a BMX freewheel remover, only you get to keep youre knuckles.
    If youre near Leighton Buzzard you can use mine

    grimy's method normally results in a torrent of very small bb bearings (3/32" i think) and leaves behing the carrier section of the freewheel.

    i would imagine odannyboy was poking fun at CRC's incorrect classification of a freewheel.

    Park FR1C tool, Grimy is actually talking about the original Suntour type cassette system, in which the lockring is actually the outer sprocket.

    isnt that for a cassette type?

    No, the one pictured has the longer splines you need for a screw-on freewheel cassette.

    Pictured tool is the correct one, cassette tool has deeper splines, but does look similar.

    Oldgit is correct. A cassette remover is shorter with more narrow splines like this –

    That is the VERY OLD style freewheel and not a current type cassette.

    The cassette is screwed on to the hub like a bmx one.

    see this link for the right tool and different systems

    Sorry, My bad, I wrongly assumed you wanted to remove the sprockets off the freewheel, in which case I am quite right. The smallest sprocket unscrews anti-clockwise off the freewheel so you can slide off the rest of the sprockets. Did one in work the other night on a collegues bike so we could clean them up in the solvent tank. 😛

    BTW get removal tools that take socket wrenches if you have one.
