My cogwheel started screaming, last outing. This usually means some lube. A few years back I made myself a tool to help me getting it of: A fork, cut/break off the middle teeth, and bend the outer ones 90 degrees (see picture). Now you have a nifty tool to pull the cogwheel of.

This is originally a posting from Esoxhunt, that I would like to share.
Very handy indeed. Simple use of the wifes finest cutlery. ;D
Very creative, Killerbug. I'm sure these will help with those frozen pinion gears. Thanks for sharing, Sal
That's a good idea! Thx
Nice, KB. For readers: Note that the post is not the same bore all the way down.. there is a 'groove' in the center part. Note that the 'dimple' on the top of the gear will not let in a lube except water-thin oil, if that, so the gear needs to come off to service, and get lube in the middle part of the post.
I'll see if ~I~ can make a tool like the pic. Cheers, KD.
True Ken, attention to detail. I have never thought about that. Normally I just cut the dimple off with a knife, and reinstall the gear with an e-clip.
another "photo of the month"!
great tool!
after you remove the cog, does it becomes a bit loose once you put it again in place? ???
Thanks for sharing

No
That's Killer...bug.

;D ;D
i have been making a loop out of spectra, slipping it underneath, then pulling the gear straight up. i've always worried about the frame, but i've been lucky so far. alan
