Regina America freewheel removal

[foz]

Am I right in thinking that the Regina America uses a standard Regina freewheel tool? It's a 7 speed freewheel, with a plastic cover that pops over the last sprocket once installed, I imagine to help keep muck out. I can take the cover off, but without taking the axle out of the hub, I can't get to or see the splines to see if they're the standard Regina type.

If anyone could confirm the tool needed, that would be great!

And if anyone has a Regina tool that they don't need and would be willing to part with, I'd also be interested!

thanks!

Quick google says it's the park tools FR 5 that removes it, not sure that this is right as that's a cassette lockring remover

You need the Park Tools FR-4 for the Regina Cassette. It has 20 splines

The FR-5 only has 12 splines

Re:

Same tool as the Atom freewheel Fr 4

I had a similar problem with a Regina block that it needed the axle removed for the splined removal tool to be inserted then I found an easier method by holding the block with a chain whip and using a second chain whip to unscrew the smallest sprocket (similar to a cassette lock ring removal) that then allowed normal insertion of the removal tool.....voila, no more hassle!

if it's the same as the Regina Extra America then the removal tools are listed on Velobase

as 47p2 says the Regina Extra has 20 splines.

This is a genuine Regina freewheel removal tool

Blimey that's a lot of metalwork to remove a freewheel......isn't that a remover and chainwhip to remove a casette lockring?

Just curious as the Regina America was 1992 which is a bit out of period for me
