Hi
So I got a pair of Rigina dp18 and the freewheel is stuck. I can't figure out which tool to use to replace it, any ideas?
Normally I'm told to use a 11 mm hex, but hole is cirkular. Maybe a giant starnut of sorts or a 2-pin not....?

    I think that should just pull off now that the axle and end caps are removed.

    It's had a hard life, eh.

    Although it's star shaped a hex key (allen key) should still fit.

    Thx for the replace. Yes it has seen some road as it has rolled sine `96 and had 20k in all weather :) Tried pulling but it will not move. It also seems like a big hex key to be used(17 mm) if that the way...

    They can be weird sizes.
    The square end of a 3/8" extension bar for a ratchet fits my freehub on both my bikes.

    Got hold of this badboy in the 17mm version and it actually fitted, but I couldn't get enough leverage on it without it slipping.
