How to remove a lock ring if there is no cassette?

Bicycles Asked by sickerin on January 4, 2021

A friend tightened the lockring without the cassette on, and now we can’t use the chain whip to unscrew it. It’s on a road bike wheel if that matters. I’m looking for tools and ideas to undo this.

I found this post on a forum, but I’m looking for more answers

Pad the freehub body with rags, hold it with a big pipe wrench or vice grips.

Another possibility is holding the freehub body pointing downwards in a vice with plastic soft-jaws (or padded with rags, again). If you position the freehub at the side of the jaws you can probably get the lockring tool in underneath.

Use a strap wrench on the freehub body.
