    My old bike has a freewheel that takes a 4-prong SunTour extractor. I
    tried it, and the result was that 3 of the 4 prongs on the freewheel broke
    off. I googled, and followed Sheldon Brown's advice and disassembled the
    freewheel. My problem now is that the freewheel core is totall smooth, and
    there is nothing for the bench vise to grip onto. Am seeking advice on how
    to remove the thing, as I have to replace a broken spoke (and have to
    replace the freewheel anyway). I've gotten some suggestions as using
    penetrating rust-remover solvents, but there is no rust. The thing is just
    torqued on really tight. I would appreciate any help.

    I professional quality oil filter wrench might do the trick. You may
    need to supplement leverage with a pipe.
