also depends on the freewheel - as some are shite in the way the tool takes them off + add 30 years of tightening = HELL

cut it off if you have gone down every route possible  :2gunsfiring_v1:

got a 4 prong one I can post out on a lender  :daumenhoch:

best way is to clamp the freewheel tool in a vice then slot the freewheel in and use the wheel as leverage to turn.... just turn the right way  :)

Seperate the freewheel. Theres usually some dimples so smack those loose with a punch and hammer, take the cog off and vice the body and screw off in worse case scenario.
