I got a Record Hi-Flange hub off ebay for cheap. The catch was that a Regina freewheel was attached. The last two cogs screw off the back of this freewheel.

Previous posts have mentioned lacing the other side and using the rim for leverage. This has been known to damage the hub (photos in Barnet's manual).

Does anybody have a foolproof method of removing the freewheel. I want to save the hub and freewheel cogs ... the freewheel body can be expended.
