Did not realize I would cause such a string but I have to jump in. My Sports Tourer has the kickstand and I would not remove it because I just finished restoring the bike back to original. Having said that, I am a former balloon bike restorer and have removed over a 100 of these with and without the tool. There are two types of approved tools for this. One has a double pully mechanism on one lever and the other has a swinging device on the end of the lever that wraps around the body of the kickstand housing. Both use raised fingers to compress the ferrule into the housing so you can remove the pin. The latter works better than the former but both were "Schwinn Approved" tools. I have had and sold a few of these. I still have the Park version with is the swinging clamp type. Another thing is that the kickstands varied in size so they are not direct replacements for eachother. You had to have the right part number to replace one with. If they bent in the housing then they were a pain to remove. I have also witnessed the a unique removal process using a chisle to whack the entire housing off the frame, cheeze, what were they thinking. If you do not have the tool you can remove it by using a small ball bering and a pair of large channel locks. Basically place the ball bearing up against the ferrule and compress it with the channel lock to push it into the housing. Remove the pin and there you go. Of course without the proper tool trying to replace it this way is really tough. Be careful any way you remove it not to loose the pin. If you do that then kiss the kickstand goodbye until you find a replacement.
