Long lock ring/cassette removal tool?

bendertherobot

Need to remove a centre lock rotor. But my existing cassette removal tool won’t go deep enough over my 142mm rear axle. Front is ok, just reaches. What tool do I need?

Are they internal or external spline lockrings? https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/disc-brake-rotor-removal-installation

Internal. The cassette removal tall isn’t long enough to slide over the thru axle

I don't have one of these, but might this be long enough, might be worth asking them? https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Ice-Toolz-Cassette-Lockring-Tool_31838.htm

I had this problem and neither of my two cassette tools would reach, ordered the Ice tool above and works on mine with a bit of depth to spare

I had the same issue and had to get a new one.
I think mine is a park tool one and has a guide bar, but it was not expensive.

Thanks all, I've ordered a "longer" one from Amazon as the Icetoolz one isn't available next day (would like to sort by Saturday's 100 miler). It's a bit of an irritating issue as I have no idea how to remove the thru axle (which seems like a lot of work just to swap discs).

OT, but the Shimano Dura Ace rotors are very very sexy!

For future reference that does the job, lots of clearance inside. Should work for long thru axles and also axle nuts etc.
