Nobody makes better instructional videos. On any topic. Nobody. Thanks, Calvin.

I hope Calvin knows how valuable these videos are to us all.

This video library is one of the biggest gems on KZread. I’ve learned so much over the last few years & I now have a bicycle toolbox filled with the Park Tools I need. Thanks Calvin.

@@jimgray3346 It's a small toolbox wiseass. And I paid $350 apiece for my both my Felts (one road and one tri) and am proud to have taught myself to do all the work on them including even rebuilding my own wheels. No moneybags here, but I'll still be happy to wax your ass out on the road any time you need a good asskicking.

I freaking love these Park Tool videos, extremelly well done, clear, educational. More than once I've used these videos to know what parts my bike need and how to install them or adjust them by myself instead of having to rely on some lazy mechanic. Thanks for the videos guys!

I woke up at 1am and decided to change the bearings in my rear rim. This video helped me remove the freewheel. Smooth as silk.

Thanks so much for providing these bike repair videos. Very clear presentation. Great camera work.

I wanted to change the spoke protector on my Trek mountain bike because it was old and cracked. I purchased the new protector, but didn’t realize I needed the special tool to get the freewheel off. Your video helped me immensely. I purchased the FR-3 tool and completed the job. The trick in putting the nut on to hold the socket was a game changer. Thank you very much.

I like this video because Calvin Jones told me to. Keep On Keepin On Mr. Jones thanks for all you do.

Greith explanation i love the way you explained it very professional thank's a lot

Thank you. Your videos are very specific and immensely detailed. You squash any uncertainty that people might have about a bicycle repair. I successfully changed my freewheel, chain and derailleur, configured them and had an awesome ride through the forest. Thank you again

Park Tools has the best repair videos on bike repair out there!

Using the vice saved me! After about an hour of trying to get it off with the specialty tool and a wrench and no luck it was my neighbors vice to the rescue. Thanks for the video!

I've changed both my freewheel and cassette, but I didn't realize there were so many removal tools. I must have lucked out when I bought the freewheel tool and the cassette tool. I really appreciate your professional videos, Calvin. Thank you.

Thank you for your time and effort Park Tool. helpful and educational as always. Keep up the great work.

Excellent video, very clear and straightforward I now know exactly what I need to do. Many thanks!

Really useful, thank you. I followed the advice to use a bench vice; this helped me to finally remove the freewheel after much struggling.

Awesome video with simple repairs, not a lot of fancy talk, straight forward teaching.

you rock man, this was really helpful, thanks

simple, short and straightforward, thank you. Yes, well understated, indeed, it may to a good bit of force to loosen the freewheel!

Thanks for this high quality video. Saves time knowing what to do.

These are the absolute BEST instructional videos on KZread.

I recently started cycling, and this channel has been a great help regarding repair and knowing my bike in an outs.... This guys are no BS guys, starting to the point all the time

Thx guys! Helped me a lot. And an easy enough tutorial for a pea brain like me to understand ;) Cheers!

Quality products, and quality support and advice. That's what I call a solid and honest business. This company does more for the environment than many multinational businesses do.

Love using your tools, best tools for bicycles.

Thanks to the whole team at Park Tool for these videos!

The best video I've seen on how to remove/install a free wheel. Thanks!

Your videos are sooooo helpful and clear and professional!

Very thorough and easy explanation, thanks!

Mindblowing free video tutorial......can't believe my eyes....

Very good demo of freewheel removal and installation. Hats off.

Freewheel removal tip: I had great amount of trouble using an adjustable wrench as shown in the video (granted my wrench was short so not much torque). That said I've had great success with the 4-Way Lug Wrench from our car (the cross one used to take tires off). It just so happened ours had a 13/16" socket (21mm) which matched my Shimano freewheel tool. I hope this helps others in the removal of the freewheel, it's the hardest part of the process.

That was my first thought.. then I went to my trunk and picked mine 4-way lug wrench.. but to my surprise my freewheel removal tool was too big to any of the 4 ways.. =/

if your wrench is short and you cant make it happen get a metal pipe, slide it over the length of the wrench and you should be able to do it then, mechanical advantage at work, cheers

Adjustable wrenches always seem like a compromise to me. If not of really good quality there's just too much play in the mechanics of it. Always better to use a correctly sized tool (reg. spanner or said 4-way lug wrench if matching) instead of a "universal" tool.

This video alien just got my lido a follow. Helpful and to the point! No nonsense. Love it.

Thank you for the flywheel 101 lecture! It saved me a lot of work.

Thanks for that. You are my go to channel. Never fail. This one is very simple, but I didn’t know; won’t forget. Thanks again.

Yes, I found a chanel with professional help! Thanks mate keep going👍👌✌

Your videos are very well done! Thank you!

You guys are the best so educational and inspiring

Always my go to. Thanks Calvin.

Always thumb up for Calvin

Thank you for making this very helpful video!

Thank you for the lesson. Obrigado , estou aprendendo muito com vocês.

*Best and the smoothest channel in the universe❤*

Thank you for your help Calvin

Great video, thank you so much for the great details, such good instruction!

great video. Most videos focus only on the newest model of whatever they are showing. Knowing how to deal with the myriad of older model is essential if you are not a mechanic that deals with high end bikes day in and out.

The best video of explaining this job. Thank you 🙏🏽

great video! awesome explantation!

Thanks for the info! Busted a couple spokes and needed to figure out how to take the freewheel off my hub. Instead of just replacing one or two bad ones. I'm going to go ahead and replace all.

Your The Man! Thanks!

Calvin is the bike mechanic GOAT

This is a super helpful video. Thanks!!

thank you for perfect demonstrations

Excellent video. Thank you!

Great tip to use the Axle nut on the tool. Thanks

MANY MANY THANKS, I have a very old bicicle, and i din't know what xtractor i needed, i need a FR-2, thanks again!

That's a great idea on using the vice. I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't think of that on my own. Thank you.

Great video! Thank you!

wow. These videos are so detailed I am going to buy a Park tool as a thank you.

Thank you for this!

Thank that really helped me

This Man Saved Most of My Bucks😍

Thank you this was a big help

Superb video, thank you so much.

Thanks Calvin!

The bit at 5:00 putting the tool in the vice. I must have spent 30 minutes sodding about trying to the thing off until I saw that. Thank you.

This was the most helpful video I've seen thus far on this subject. Knowing there are EXACT tools for each type of freewheel is a HUGE help. The tool I bought before was obviously fir a different freewheel. I also din't know about anti-seize goop. Next up will be looking at derailleur and maybe, just maybe attempt at repacking berrings inside a wheel. I never thought I'd have to practically become a bicycle mechanic but so many businesses have closed down. That shop! WOW!! Drooooool. Cheers.

Thx for information that's awesome...

Very good described video.

This guy is a pure genius. Have you seen how fast he changes a tube and tyre. Well jel.

Awesome! Thank you.. Excellent video!..

Hands up if your FR-2 is chowdered. I was curious to see how you would spin this video past 40seconds. No surprise, you delivered the goods.

Thanks So helpful 👍

Park Tool makes the very best and most detailed bike service videos. Love every one of them. I learn something every time I view them, and I work on a lot of different bikes. The info here is very valuable. The Park Tool FR1.3 is the go-to tool in our shop for many types of repairs- bent axles, bearings, swapping bad freewheels, broken spokes, etc. It fits so many of the cheap freewheels that are out there, and we see a lot of them. But I really can't agree with the usage depicted of the FR1.3. If you use an adjustable wrench with it, and encounter a stuck freewheel, you WILL break this too. I have several now, cracked right in half. Our old old trusty FR1.1 is still going strong because it has a thicker drive end. The 1.3 is just too thin, and adjustable wrenches place too much strain on just 2 flats. Yet this video, and the packaging for 1.3 says to use an adjustable wrench. I need a heavy-duty alternative, maybe even a tool formed onto the end of a flat bar so it's reinforced.

Thank you very much!

GREAT VID

Thanks fer spline-in' it to us! Bicycle pun thread anyone?

I was thinking i had a hub, and that the lock ring was stuck. Pfff did i try to get that thing loose. I need to pay more attention to these very good vids. When i finaly, easely screwed the cassette off, i was very happy😀

Thank u for this video 🙂

Thanks guys

love the videos

Thanks, operation spoke replacement completed, and this video helped. FR-1.3 to the rescue. Now talking to Santa to send me more tools.
