....I understand destructive removal of a freewheel, and do it all the time. But thank you. This one is really welded on there, and even the remains of the body repeatedly heated and cooled along with copious amounts of penetrant have done nothing toward making it go away. Were it not a nice old Campy high flange hub still laced into a functional Mavic MA40 rim, it would already have hit the recycling bin.
If I wreck it with an impact wrench, that will at least give me closure.
