Marcus,
There were essentially 2 versions of the remover tool for
splined Regina freewheels, a thin-wall version and a thick-wall
version. Only the thin-wall version could be used without
removing the axle, spacers and locknuts.
By the way, when I say theat there were 2 versions, I don't
mean that Regina themselves offered 2 alternatives. I mean
that each tool manufacturer chose to produce either a
thin-wall or thick-wall version. I used to have one of each
(but I now have none) and my recollection is that the thin-wall
version was actually sold as a remover for some other make of
freewheel. Perhaps Zeus, as Dave Anderson mentioned, but I
vaguely recall it being sold for use with a French freewheel.
Cheers,
Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
