Silly question - removing Shimano rotors
I know the regular answer but its not working. Shimano Centerlock rotor on Saint Hone hub with standard threaded axle. The axle seems to be the problem. My PARK tool for removing the lock ring on cassettes won't fit over the hub axle nut thingy. when I slide it over the axle, its short by maybe 1/4".
Is there a longer version of the park FR-5 lock ring tool or do it need to fully remove the threaded axle? maurice |

Longer or with a bigger/deeper whole drilled through it.

The Saint centerlock is slightly larger than the normal Shimano centerlock so your normal cassette tool won't work.
Shimano has a special tool for this - the LR20. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...l.aspx?sc=FRGL |

dj - Thanks for the tip. My park tool actually fits the shimano center-lock lockring b/c I'm able to remove the rotor from the front hub which is a QR. I think the LR20 is the right answer though b/c it has a longer reach.
