STW Massive;

As stated - it's buggered. Any suggestions as to how to secure the cassette without one?

Help me Obi Wan STWobi. You're my only hope....

loop of chain nailed to a bit of wood will do

or an oil filter remover from Halford for half the cost (of a real one, not a loop of chain and piece of wood, obviously)

Your wife may kill you but, Oven Gloves will give you a firm safe purchase on the cassette while you undo it with the cassette tool and spanner.

or - just another thought.

Scrwedriver from behind, into the back of the cassette, which won't turn 'cos the spokes won't let it.

Wouldn't recommend as a solution long term but would work in an emergency.

This or just use a teatowel. It works!

Ooh, what's this I have in my toolbox, is it a chain whip? Yes, I think it is...

I'm not letting you loose with it though, not with your ham-fistedness.

The old tea towel trick has worked for me in the past.

make your own chainwhip. as a skint student in 1992 I bolted some chain to the other end of a headset spanner & its worked fine ever since.

length of chain wraped round your foot should do it.
