thanks for the advice. it ended up being a cassette (based on the park tools site, I didn’t know the difference). So I think it uses the FR-5.2 from Park tools based on their images.
I didn’t see much difference between a cone wrench and a normal crecent. Is there a reason I can’t use normal wrenches? I guess I’ll find out when the cassette removal tool comes. I’ll take a look at the front too. I’ll keep posting pics. This will hopefully be interesting for someone later to watch the whole process.
