Yes

You may well sacrifice the freewheel though.

 :) BMXCity had Suntour 4 pin removal tools for less than a fiver.I`ve had mine for years and it`s a good bit of kit.,slides over the axle & locks in place with the wheelnut and has a good area to clamp a quite large adjustable for max leverage. :daumenhoch:

If it's no good and not going back on, you could use a hammer and screwdriver/punch.
