To remove a cog from a threaded driver; 1. Remove the right cone and lift out the driver with the cog attached.

2. Place a piece of 5/16" or 1/4" bar stock or plate in a vice

3. Slip the driver splines onto the bar. http://bikesmithdesign.com/SA/driver-bar.jpg

4. Remove the cog with a chain whip.

5. After re-installing the driver, cone, RH cone locking washer and locknut, always adjust bearing play with the left cone.
