Help me fix my bike :(

Afternoon,

Due to a recent incident with a car and my bike wheel, its now buckled

I need to swap the sprocket set over, which is a 5 speed set. How the hell do I get it off the old rear wheel so I can transfer it?

Thanks

You need a special tool.

What tool would that be?

Screwdriver.

...How would I use that?

If its a 5 then it will be pretty old, so its hard to know what you will need.

Do you know that the sprocket set is compatible with the hub on your new wheel?

I'd say this was a job for a bike shop.

Yep, the sprocket set is compatible with the new hub - its identical to the old wheel I put on there

I can't get the bike to the bike shop, thats the problem!

anyone else? I've got a chain whip. I really need to get this sorted so I can get back to work this evening

All I need to do it lock the freewheel, so that i can turn the wheel the right way to get the sprocket off.

Well, I kept on trying today, the sprocket set is completely seized to the wheel. A new one is only £11 anyway, so i'm picking it up tomorrow, along with a new chain.
