In this video I demonstrate a simple trick to determine whether the rear wheel or a bicycle uses either a Freewheel or a Cassette. The thread on free-wheel type of system are typically found on older and lower end bikes, while the freehub and cassette type system are typically found on newer and higher end bicycles. These two systems are NOT compatible with each other, so it's important to know what you have. The techniques for removing the freewheel or cassette from the wheel are very different, so I've created two other videos which will show you the procedure for each.

For the Freewheel type of system, the tools recommended include:
-A Freewheel Remover tool which fits your freewheel (visit your local bike shop).
-A sized wrench that fits onto your Freewheel Removal tool.
For the Freehub and Cassette type of system, the tools recommended include:
-Cassette Lockring Tool (visit your local bike shop).
-A sized wrench that fits onto your Cassette Lockring Tool.
-Chain Whip
