Sphere Removal Derby

[bbb]

Hello,
Have mnaged to snap and re-join my chain wrench three times but only removed one sphere so far.

Is there anyone on here local to Derby / Burton who could help or recommend a garage that could change the spheres?

Many Thanks
bbb

This is not an answer to your question but just remembered my experience with the chain version sphere removal tool
It was surprising how easy it is to snap a chain. I have modified it with a thicker one and it is still in one piece
--> Simple sphere removal tool (chain version)

- You can try the same or
- buy a proper sphere removal tool from ebay (search with 'xantia sphere removal' in ebay) costs around 15£
- or make your own

Make your own using the guide in my signature:

was thinking of going the motorcycle chain route. the bike chains are just too weak to get the spheres off. will have to see what I can find.

What spheres are still stuck and need removing?

I'm based in Stoke and work in Burton so could possibly lend a hand one day.

Rear spheres I find are a no go with the chain wrench, Ive used a strap wrench plus a long breaker bar and a good kick from me fairly effective!
