10 speed Peugeot spoke replacement
I've got an old 10 speed peugeot bike that needs spokes on the back wheel. The bike store doesn't have the tool to remove the free wheel and is acting like it's too old. Would anyone know where this tool can be gotten?
Also, the bike doesn't have brake adjusters. I'm wondering if there's anything that can be installed so that the brakes can be adjusted (tighter or looser).
Thanks.

It is not possible to say what tool you need because your bike could have had a few different kinds of freewheel. It would help if we could see pics, but you need a few more posts before you can add them. If you go add some comments on other posts, you’ll get there quickly.
As for the brake adjusters, are your brakes Mafac Racers? Look at the cable stops right above the brakes on the head tube and seat stays. Both locations should have a hollow threaded bolt with the cable going through it. That bolt should have a nut on it that you can screw up or down to adjust the cable tension.

I'll second the call for a picture showing the freewheel.
Regarding Mafac Racer brakes, the adjusters are usually found on the levers, assuming that Mafac levers are used.

What markings does the Freewheel have. I recall that my '72 UO8 had a Maillard Normandy freewheel. Must have, since I do have a removal tool for one. If you live in central North Carolina, I'd be glad to remove it for you.

Sounds like the bike store (as opposed to "shop") doesn't have much experience of hasn't been around for a while. Not wrong, but in this case rather limiting for their customer.
I'll bet they also don't know much about freewheel/hub threads and the possibilities of incompatibility should they need to replace the freewheel (or wheel but not both at the same time). It is fairly simple to remove a freewheel with only a pipe wrench. (Getting it to work again is the trick

Just purchase a new wheel:
https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Master-.../dp/B000AO5FAQ
new freewheel
https://www.amazon.com/Sunrace-Freew.../dp/B000AYB57S
new chain
https://www.amazon.com/KMC-X8-93-Bic.../dp/B001MXQHPG
Have the new wheel tensioned and stress relieved before using it.
If multiple spokes need to be replaced - they all need to be replaced.

This bike doesn't have brake adjusters. I know what they are and it doesn't have any - including on the brake levers. That's why I'm wondering if there's anything that could be installed short of drilling out the hole that the cable goes through and tapping it.
We found a store that said that the Peugeot bikes are old and that only stores that have been around for a long time would have the freewheel tool (they have one). They said it could be purchased on the internet.

You don’t need to tap the hole the brake cable goes through, but a different hanger might be a good idea.
This is what the brake adjuster looks like on a Motobécane of similar vintage. It’s the same on my Peugeots. Mine do not have adjusters on the brake levers either, so there obviously are differences from bike to bike.

The brake cable goes into the center of the frame - which is the center between the 2 brake calipers. The adjuster would have to go into that hole unless I don't use that hole and completely reroute the cable to the side. But I like the center cable idea.
Also, after cleaning off the grease, we found that the freewheel is either an Atom Bte SGDG or SCDG (couldn't see the letters clearly).
Any recommendations where to get the removal tool for this?
Thanks.

Check Z-bend spokes. With that you can replace broken spoke without removing freewheel. (Perfect if you are on a trip and spoke will brake)
you need special z-bend pliers to make spokes like that (you probably can get away with normal pliers for one off job. )

As noted above, a picture would help make definitive identification.

This one is quite modern and every workshop should have one.
more likely on old bike:
If you remove spindle you can use piece of steel wide and thick enough to fit nicely into the groove place it in a vice and by turning wheel remove freewheel from it. (wheel mounted sprockets down in a vice and looking from top its clockwise direction)

If JohnDThompson is right and that is the tool you need.. like most common freewheel tool that exists.. what kind of bicycle workshop wouldnt have one ?
