Hi all and Happy New Year to everybody: I am extremely desperate and have been searching the world wide for months!! Ihave a need for a freewheel extractor tool that fits the shimano 3.3.3. Freewheel. It seems as though this was one of Shimano's bag of tricks back in the era where they make a freewheel core spline different than anyone else and then stop doing it after awhile. Of course, they were the only ones that manufactured the tool to extract it and now it seems next to be impossible to find. There are 12 spines and it seems as though the outside dimension measuring to the outside of the splines is about 20mm. I think the nickname of this tool was BOSS. I am going to start out the new year trying to hang on to what is dearest to me but everything short of trading in unwanted syblings and one of my arms and possibly a leg, I am willing to deal for it.....seeya
