Subject: [CR]regina freewheel question

Hello group,

Here is my dilemma. I've managed to get the first three cogs off a five speed Regina Oro freewheel, but not the last two. Are the last two cogs reverse threaded? Couldn't find the info I need in the archives; maybe I searched wrong, but I don't have unlimited time to sit at the computer.

The real problem is that despite all my careful efforts, the notches in the freewheel body peeled away like butter while attempting the remove it from a Campy hub. I thought that removing the cogs would allow me better access to the freewheel body, thus giving me another option for removal. I'm open to any tips or suggestions as to how to get the damm thing off. First time ever I have not been able to remove a freewheel. argghhh!

Thanks for any help.
