I have the lockring removal too and it still won't budge. It does go off going counterclockwise, right? I have already destroyed one lockring removal tool. any help is greatly appreciated.

I couldn't get mine to budge until I bought the park chain whip (cheaper ones were too short) and an adjustable wrench that is at least as long as the park tool. The other piece of advice I can offer is to put your quick release skewer through your wheel and lock ring tool and screw it down to keep the long ring tool from slipping out of the grooves. Good luck!

Quote:thanks. what size socket would I use with the lockring tool?
