Shimano Hub Removal Tool -Early?
I have a 80-81ish Motobecane Grand Record. It has Shimano components. What hub removal tool will work? I read about an "early" Shimano. Would this be considered "early"? It has 9 splines and is about 1 1/4" (32mm) across. I'll provide any other pertinent info that I can.

Do you have a LBS open near you? If you're doing a one time freewheel removal and if the freewheel is the 333 version (whose tool is no longer available other then used , maybe on EBay) Then I question the value of buying it. If your LBS has the tool the job should cost only a few $ if you brought in only the wheel.
But I will be interested in what is really being asked about. Andy

Are you replacing the spokes as well? If not, no need to remove them

Well that's a "duh"! No, no new spokes. Thank you!!
EDIT: For that matter, maybe I'll be able to do one spoke at a time, to make it easier to keep track. But, I'm reading Sheldon Brown's article on wheel building, very helpful.

I'm still not sure what you are asking, but you have enough posts to post a picture which would be HELPFUL.
IF you are talking about a UniGlide FH, you need two chain whips.

JohnThompson I was thinking the same thing. Some Moto's came with a Uniglide cassette hub body and a 5 or 6 speed cogset which was held on by the last (14T) sprocket. In which case the OP would need 2 chain tools to hold the cassette sprockets.
