How to Replace Your Bike Cassette Using Tools

Do you find it challenging to change out the cassette on your bicycle? It doesn’t matter, because once you’ve read the tutorial, it won’t be difficult for you to switch out the tools whenever you’re ready.
1. Take off the back wheel by moving the chain to the smallest flywheel and letting go of the quick release lever. This will allow you to take off the back wheel. After that, you are going to require a freewheel wrench in addition to a freewheel cover tool.
2. To remove the flywheel cover, first secure the flywheel wrench around the larger flywheel, then insert the flywheel cover tool, and finally remove the flywheel cover by turning it in the opposite direction of the clock.

3. To get rid of the old flywheel, first unscrew the lock ring, then either take the flywheel apart piece by piece or remove it in its entirety. If you want to keep the old flywheel, stringing it together with a cable tie is a good way to do it.

4. Install a new flywheel: When installing the flywheels, ensure that they are installed in order from largest to smallest. This will ensure that the flywheel pieces are installed in the correct order, and it will also ensure that the gap between each flywheel is the same. It is important to keep in mind that the flywheel’s front and back halves must never be installed in the wrong order. If you do not pay attention to the size of the card slot as well as the number of teeth that are engraved on the outer side of the flywheel, the flywheel will not be inserted correctly. In most cases, the number of teeth will be engraved on the outer side of the flywheel.

5. Install the lock ring by fastening it to the side of the flywheel that is furthest from the center. At first, you should tighten it by hand, and then you should use the flywheel cover wrench to further tighten it until it is secure. If you find that it is difficult to fit the flywheel cover or that the threads under the flywheel cover are too short, check to see that the length of the freewheel body is set correctly. If the flywheel cannot be fixed even after the flywheel cover has been tightened, you should also check to see if the specifications of the freewheel body are the same as those of the flywheel.

6. Tighten the flywheel: When locking the flywheel cover, you do not need a flywheel cover wrench. When the flywheel is turned counterclockwise, the jack on the freewheel body is able to provide an adequate amount of resistance. It is important to keep in mind that the flywheel cover will need to be removed at some point, so avoid over-tightening it.
