    Hi, has anyone got a 4 prong freewheel tool they don't need and might sell me? Sun Tour/Park Tools FR-3 is the one. Thanks.

    It's ok, I've just ordered one from Spokes UK to my Address Pal address.

    Drat, the tool arrived but does not fit, even though it claims "fits all SunTour freewheels". Not so much.
    I believe what I need is a Park Tool FR 8 or equivalent. Any chance someone here has one going spare?

    Could you chance making one from an old/cheap socket? Similar to this...



    Actually, in what way does it not fit?

    The diameter us much too small, 24mm instead of 34mm.
    It is theoretically possible to fabricate one, but I'm not set up for that, thanks though.
