True, they did. But in my experience, this tool never worked well. The fit was just not very good. In fact, a _carefully_ modified Suntour tool actually worked better for me.

I think you'll find that, quite often, the remover sheared the metal in the freewheel body regardless of which tool you used. In fact, unless you have to for reasons of originality (or whatever) I would recommend using something other than a Regina freewheel once you get the old one removed. Good luck either way, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
