Good point about a donor hub…will see if I’ve got anything suitable

I cut down a socket years ago....think I posted it here....

Here....21mm 1/2" socket

Freehub disassembly tool

Does anyone here know where I can get the equivalent of the discontinued Shimano TL-FK40 for disassembling freehubs? There's an American chap who makes them but only ships within the US. It looks like a Polish company called Bitul used to make them, but no longer does.

I have a tool that I bought from eBay I think. Can take a picture later. It was cheap and from China. Normally it's just better to replace the free hub. With a new one and cheap to do but I had a 6 speed that are not so easy to find so bought the tool on eBay. As previously said though it's normally as bit of a case of raiding another free hub for the spacers.

Amazon have them.. sure there's others out there

Anyone need a 6 speed fhb, or a 7 speed uniglide, let me know
Probably cost less than the tool

Thanks all for the help. I fashioned a couple of shims out of milk bottle plastic and hey presto all worked surprisingly well!
