Hi all, I've a sram free hub stuck in a set a wheels I'm trying to free off but the lock ring just won't budge. Absolutely solid. Any ideas? Tried WD40 and brute force and ignorance.

More brute force? Bigger chain whip and spanner.
If it seized whacking it with a hammer or heating it a bit (a small kitchen blow torch would be ideal) and letting it cool might help.
Hold the biggest sprocket with chain whip tap, smaller ones backwards to get them oit of the gouges theve cut.
Misread op if you lock ring is stuck put lock ring tool in a vice and turn the wheel
Lock ring tool in vice - cracker of a idea, why didn't I think of thAt earlier!
Blow torch and hammer are after that in line.
Yep lock ring tool in vice and just spin the wheel round and round on the freehub haha.
Ha - will just use 2 chain whips to crank it round - what could go wrong....
That will teach you to be young. In the good old days a vice was the best way of holding the freewheel tool. None of these poncy chain whips and match ratchet ing cassette removers.
Best tool I've seen recently is the Decathlon chain whip - no chain on it!
locks the sprocket by the teeth and lets you use the lockring tool easily.
Although if you don't have one...
Vice 😆
Ps along with the vice wrap an old chain round the cassette and tie over the tyre.
beat it off
Its not an xd drive freehub is it out of curiosity?
Just standard SRAM 10 speed. Put on by Hercules though! 95kgs and still could budge it (haven't tried since the post) but will post the outcome!
So WD40 leaving it for a few days to soak in and nice new park tools cassette tool. came off with ease.
