I'm not smart enough to reinvent the wheel:

Can't access the end - tool slides along an axle. Can't drill a hole
crossways either (well you could but it wouldn't help any).

You might want to post the problem, what you're trying to do and see if
anyone has a different solution ;-)


Old freewheel remover, the correct tool is NLA.

The freewheel has an internal splined face for the remover. The remover
has to slide over the axle and into the freewheel top, axle pokes out the
end of the remover.

The socket will get matching splines ground from its outer circumference
at the nut end.

A 12-point 9/16" socket is the right size, plus I can index it off a bolt
head - mount bolt in locked lathe chuck, head out with a strong spring
between the chuck face and the socket (mounted on the bolt with the nut
end outward). Dremel with 5 stacked cutoff disks on carriage, grind a
slot, pull the socket towards the face and switch points, grind the next
slot.

Got mine from Ebay for $1.50 or something. Dunno bout the old style,
but they might have one. https://is.gd/NJnreZ or https://is.gd/CJH93A
BUT, if a 9/16" socket works, just weld a flat bar across the 3/8 sq
opening and you're good. (drill for axle protrusion if necessary)
