The two notches of the FR-2 are approximately 25mm across measured outside to outside. Center bore for axle clearance is 10mm. PARK TOOL: YOUR GUIDE TO THE WORLD OF CASSETTES & FREEWHEELS CASSETTE OR FREEWHEEL? To determine the type of rear sprocket system you have, find the tool fitting on the sprocket set. Spin the sprockets backwards. If the fitting spins with the cogs, it is a cassette system. If the tool fitting does not spin with the cogs, it is a freewheel system. COUNT THE NOTCHES To determine the type of freewheel tool needed, count the number of splines or notches in the tool fitting. If there are 2 notches , the FR-2 is the correct tool. THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB In addition to the correct tool, you will also need a method of driving it such as the Park Tool FRW-1 wrench, an adjustable wrench, or a 1" socket. Park Tool makes a full line of cassette lockring and freewheel tools to empower you to remove the rear cogs of virtually any bicycle. Here's a selection of tools similar to the FR-2 TRUSTED SINCE 1963 Since our origins in the back of a bike shop in 1963, it has been Park Tool's sole mission to design and manufacture high-quality tools that empower mechanics and riders of all skill levels to service their bicycles. Just like our other 500+ tools, our cassette and freewheel tools are a product of our decades of experience and expertise in the industry, in the shop and on the trail. Review: Worked Great - no substitute for this tool! - Replacing a worn freewheel and chain on my wife's 1974 Raleigh Pro... I dare say the Maeda (Suntour) freewheel she had on there NEVER had been removed. To say it was tight is an understatement. Best way to use this Park tool is to clamp the tool itself in a vise and use the wheel to unscrew. Necessary downward force to keep the tool firmly engaged while turning the wheel can be applied in this way. After superhuman effort - literally body-hugging the wheel and fearing I'd strip out or break the prongs on the tool, the freewheel finally popped loose. Using penetrating oil and giving it plenty of time to work was a must! Also, with the Park tool out of the vise and engaged in the freewheel, a few sharp raps with a hammer directly on the tool could help, but do it as a last resort. (This will not harm your bearings, cones, or races, but be SURE you have clearance between tool and end of axle before doing this - or just remove the axle) Use anti-seize or grease on the thread and mating shoulders with your freewheel replacement. It's likely I'll never need this tool again, but if you need it, get it. (Custom ground needle-nose pliers and a large crescent wrench didn't work for me either) Review: Love this tool. Would be stuck without it. Allowed me to get to rear wheel to repack bearings. - Works great on a Suntour pefect freewheel from the early 80"s. Love this freewheel. They were well built. Held the tool in place with the axle nut and turned with a wrench (actually a park tool chain whip that comes with a 1" opening on butt of handle. Check it out, works great). Had zero difficulty with removing the freewheel. Once it came slightly loose, released the axle nut and the freewheel spun off nicely. Worth every penny. Took the opportunity to disassemble the freewheel and replace bearings. Wasn't really necessary as it turns out, but did it anyway. ## Features - Fits older Sun Tour two notch freewheels. - Heat treated alloy tool steel, one inch base fits wrench or bench vise. - Thin wall construction allows use without removal of cones and locknuts. - Not recommended for Sun Tour four to six notch freewheels. - Always use a skewer or axle nut to hold remover firmly in place. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001472M4K | | Best Sellers Rank | #54,530 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #148 in Bike Shop Tools | | Brand | Park Tool | | Brand Name | Park Tool | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 935 Reviews | | Finish Types | Natural | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00763477003430, 04962772158227 | | Head Style | Open End | | Included Components | Cassette and Freewheel Tools | | Item Length | 7 Inches | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Jaw Capacity | 1 Inches | | Manufacturer | Park Tool | | Manufacturer Part Number | FR-2 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty - See parktool.com/warranty | | Material | Multi | | Material Type | Multi | | Model Number | FR-2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Park Tool - **Color:** Black - **Item Length:** 7 Inches - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Pounds - **Material:** Multi ## Images ![FR-2 Freewheel Remover - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714saIZKuLL.jpg) ![FR-2 Freewheel Remover - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g-+1XWxEL.jpg) ![FR-2 Freewheel Remover - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xOlio7KtL.jpg) ![FR-2 Freewheel Remover - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fs+fLE60L.jpg) ![FR-2 Freewheel Remover - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814WOeSN1RL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this tool work to get the gears off the rear rim of a 1985 shwinn continental? Need to replace a spoke** A: What I can tell you is that the tangs are 25.4 mm or 1 inch on the outside approx. 3mm or 1/8 inch thick and are approximately 7mm or 1/4 inch from end to end when measured with a caliper (they curve). They tools tend to fit the older style rear gear clusters (as we used to call them). I hope this helps. **Q: Will this tool work on my 1973 Raleigh competition regina extra 5 speed cassette?** A: No, you need a Regina freewheel remover, they have splines. **Q: will this work on a freewheel with 4 notches ?** A: You may want to look at the Park Tool FR-3 which is the four notch tool. **Q: Will this tool fit a sturmey archer singlespeed freewheel?** A: Sorry. But don't know the answer ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Great - no substitute for this tool! *by P***N on July 23, 2025* Replacing a worn freewheel and chain on my wife's 1974 Raleigh Pro...

Would be stuck without it. Allowed me to get to rear wheel to repack bearings. *by B***H on September 20, 2017* Works great on a Suntour pefect freewheel from the early 80"s. Love this freewheel.

Not having needed a Suntour freewheel tool in a "while", I couldn't find my 20 year old Suntour 2- notch tool. Did I say 20 years? Geesh time flies. I should have said nearly 40 years (circa 1982) - same as the bike and frame set. So I had no choice but to buy a new one. Most of my tools acquired in the past 20 years or so are Park (or Campy) so I didn't hesitate to buy this one as I expect it will last as long as my heavily used, back in the day, original removal tool. Well, not long after this tool arrived and I used it on my resto project that I found a box tucked away in my home shop with a few tools and bike parts, including not one but two Suntour freewheel removal tools. Too late to return it, plus I had used it and didn't feel right about sending it back, so now I have three. I am set to work on Suntour freewheels for a long time. However, the point of the story is in comparing the new Park tool to my old tools, I can say the Park tool is every bit as well made, nicely finished, similar weight and overall usability and sturdiness to the old tools made "back in the day". It's not made of cheap pot metal or poorly machined, etc. It's a perfectly good professional bike shop quality tool. If you need one and are SURE you don't have an old one lying around somewhere, I would not hesitate to recommend getting this Park tool ## Frequently Bought Together - Park Tool Freewheel Remover: Sun Tour 2 Notch - Park Tool FR-3 Freewheel Remover: SunTour 4 Notch - Park Tool FR-1.3 Freewheel Remover Shimano Uniglide Tool,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1840476-fr-2-freewheel-remover](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1840476-fr-2-freewheel-remover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
