LOL yeah. Waiting on the clutch puller tool and was bored. I have a new freewheel on the way (along with the clutch puller) but I figured I'd give it a go and see what happens. The insides of those are actually pretty amazing. And when I say amazing, I mean its amazing that the four little ratchets on the inside can actually hold the forces from pedaling. Here's a pic when I was first tearing it apart (had already taken out one ratchet on the left)
