LifeLine Cassette Lockring Removal Tool 4.7 5 171 171

good tool This tool works well and is comfortable to use. Taking cassettes off and putting them on is easy when used with a chain whip. I have had one occasion where i would have preferred it not to have that spike down the middle, but i can't remember why now... 11 July 2010

What a great bit of gear for the price. Simple to use and centre pin ensures secure location. Nicely made too. 05 July 2010

As good as Genuine tool Great tool that is as good as Park Tool and genuine Shimano. Have not had any bad experiences with any of Life Line tools. 05 July 2010

Brought this just to expand my tool kit and to do my own servicing but have not used yet but have heard how good it is and was recommended this tool 03 July 2010

Answer:

The locating pin requires a hollow axle, buy a remover which uses a spanner for solid axles.

Answer:

The majority of wheels with cassettes fitted have quick release axles, if you have a solid axle more than likely you will have a freewheel which means you will need a freewheel tool rather than a cassette tool, if you need further advise please contact sales@wiggle.co.uk.

Cassette tightening

If cassettes are meant to be tighten to 40NM how do you make sure you tighten it the right amount? I don't suppose toque is preset on the wrench?

Answer:

No there is no torque feature on this wrench

Country : Irish Republic

Matt123456789

Answer:

Not possible with this product, 40nm is nipped up to compress the spring washer then through a clockwise rotation equal to about 15 minutes on a clock face (from 1/4 past to 1/2 past! when looking from above) it's not very tight.

Country : United Kingdom

1 year, 9 months ago

LanterneRouge92

Suffolk

Answer:

40nm is quite a lot, and would probably lead to stripping the thead on an alloy lock ring. just use good judgement. A good rule for approximate tightness of any thread is to tighten by hand without much force then tighten another 1/8 of a turn. For a cassette then check for any movement on the freehib body. remember you can always tighten more but if you strip a thread....problems.
Manufacturers torque values tend to be maximums, i do use a torque wrench and usually find that checking after i have tightened by hand and checked the component for any movement that the actual torque value is 1/3 under stated max value. hope this helps.

Use a torque wrench and if it is not preset stop at 40NM.

Answer:

This is not a torque wrench so you will need to judge the torque as best you can. If you want to be exact on your torque settings you will need to use a torque wrench and a attachable socket such as the one linked below.

1I have this question too

Answers

Answer:

It's a simple remove wheel, remove quick release skewer, insert guide pin through axle, line up lock ring with splines on tool, push home. Using a chain whip hold the cassette with the handle pointing the oposite way to the remover, push down on remover (lockrings are anti clockwise un do) should only be done back up firmly (40nm ish) make sure it's for the right cassette maker or it may not engage the splines.

Country : United Kingdom

1 year, 9 months ago

LanterneRouge92

Answer:

To remove the cassette using this tool you need to remove your QR skewer and slide the tool into the axle and locate it on the splines, then use a chain whip to stop the cassette ratcheting when undoing the lockring. This tool is designed to fit Shimano/Sram lockrings.

Will this tool fit the splines on centrelock lockrings?

The existing cassette removal tool i have is not deep enough to drop over the axle on my centrelock hubs, leaving me about 4-5mm short of being able to engage with the splines. Is this tool deep enough to allow engagement with the splines on the lock nut?

Is this sutable for disc brake rotors?

Is this deep enough to fit and remove the lock rings on disc brake rotors?

My current lock ring removal tool works OK on Shimano cassette lock-rings, but does not have enough space to fit the disc brake rotor on a Shimano rear hub.
