E-8000 Chainring Removal

[shreddr]

According to the manual the tool needed to remove the lockring that holds the chainring on the E-8000 drive unit is TL-FC39. There don't seem to be many of these out there, and they are expensive. Will anything else work?

I bought mine from Bluesky bike online

Me too, $64 is a pretty expensive tool to likely be used so infrequently. The local shop didn’t have one so I had to spring for it so I can mount up the chain guide
