In an effort to remove an old freewheel from a rimless hub:
1. removed the Regina Extra's three outer cogs 2. built a jig to hold the hub by the flange holes 3. Gripped the jig in a vice 4. tried to remove the retainer with a VAR pin tool
I immediately cracked both pins.
Is the retainer left-hand threaded.
If so, what's the next step?
