For the Miche I believe that it's a Park FR-1 Freewheel tool (for shimano splined fw). I'm not absolutely certain, but if you bring it by Open Shop at West Town Bikes tonight, 7-10pm, I am certain we have the tool it needs.

The Park FR-1 is what I used. The splines don't fit well and the tool isn't deep enough with the 110 mm spindle. Thanks though. I may swing by tonight.

Uses Shimano TL-FW30 or Park FR-1 freewheel tool for installation

It has to be one or the other......Or just call Shimano.

For some reason there seems to be an internet conspiracy being put forth buy numerous online retailers asserting that the Park FR-1 is the right tool. It ain't. The correct tool is the Park BBT-5. LBS had it. Sometimes if you live by the internet you die by the internet;) Thanks to everyone that tried to help me out!

For future reference,contact the maker of the product in question when you're unable to get the answers that you need. it'll save
you a whole lot of time and frustration.
