Uniglide removal tool: Does anybody have one?
The reason I ask is because I'm in contact with a machinist who made me a special wrench for another project, and I've asked him if he could make me a bike tool if he had time. He said he could, and needs some detailed pics or, better yet, a broken tool to get dimensions off of. Does anybody have one laying around that they're not using and wouldn't mind donating for "the cause"?
Also, would a tool like the Shimano TL-FH40 fit the cones on the new HG hubs as well as the UG hubs? Seems to me, since that old Shimano tool is discontinued, there might be a market for somebody who made an equivalent. And they look similar - one tool for both generation of hubs would be great!

Uniglide removal tool? Are you talking about a chainwhip?
Is this a cassette here or a thread on freewheel?

I think the uniglide body can be removed with a Shimano freewheel remover. The cogs themselves are held on by the last one or two which are threaded. Two chain whips will remove those. All of those tools are readily available from a number of manufacturers.
