How do I get this old cassette off?

If the tool does not fit then you need one that does. I would suggest give the lbs a fiver.

You could try using a big hammer to make the tool fit.

If you do have the right tool, put the spindle back in as you will need it to hold the tool tight.

It isn't a cassette, it's a screw on freewheel.

Oops!

 

[Crackle]

Yeah it's a freewheel, right tool, big lever.

 

[guitarpete247]

Instead of big lever, put tool in vice and turn wheel anti clockwise. I did that very thing this morning.

There are a few YouTube vids on it, I use a vice like most others do. If it is tight I will get the impact wrench on it.

could be this

You never said, but its the closest I found on what I could see, It seems to have 24 splines in which case this could be it
Normandy/Schwinn large diameter splined 5-speeds 24
does it say Maillard on it in which case this is the freewell
and this is the tool

WD40.

Mallet.

Bolster chisel.

Thank me later.

 

[John the Canuck]

finally the correct answer..up above ...not the wd40 one

its a Maillard freewheel
and its a 24 spline Normandy removal tool

put the tool in a vice - a solid bolted to the bench vice jobbie
turn the wheel anti-clockwise

be prepared to fail............it will be tight tight tight

screenman, advice - "I would suggest give the lbs a fiver." is looking good

Theres nothing you cant solve with the suitable placement of explosives.
