I'm trying to get a Shimano cassette off but it sems so tight the chain whip slips, as the cassette is toast im not too worried about damaging it, but wheel and free hub I need to keep.

What torque should it be?

Having a bad bike week!! :(

    No torque. Make sure the chainwhip is round the top cog with as much chain as possible in contact with teeth.

    Thanks

    The Shimano blurb says between 30 - 50 Nm, so 40 sounds good

    Cheers
