Overview

What freewheel does the Park Tool FR-1.3 remover fit?

The Park Tool FR-1.3 Freewheel Remover is the standard tool for removing Shimano, SRAM, and most other multi-spline freewheels from threaded rear hubs. The precision-machined splined body engages the freewheel removal notches fully, providing positive torque transfer without the slippage that damages the freewheel body and makes future removal even harder. It is designed for use with a large adjustable wrench or vice for the leverage freewheels often require after miles of use.

What type of rear hub does the FR-1.3 work with?

The FR-1.3 is designed for threaded rear hubs that use a screw-on freewheel, not cassette-style hubs that use a freehub body. Freewheels thread directly onto the hub and require this dedicated removal tool.

How much force is needed to remove a freewheel?

Freewheels tighten themselves during riding and can require significant force to break free. Use a long adjustable wrench or clamp the FR-1.3 in a vice and rotate the wheel for maximum leverage.

Will the FR-1.3 fit my cassette-style Shimano hub?

No. Cassette hubs use a freehub body and require a cassette lockring tool, not a freewheel remover. The FR-1.3 is for older or entry-level bikes with traditional threaded freewheel hubs.
