To find which way to remove it, spin the freewheel.  One way it will spin (& makes a clicking noise), that is the direction of removal.

put the freewheel remover on, then a wheel nut loose so it wont fall off, then clamp the tool in a vice and turn the whole wheel anticlockwise, no more smacking knuckles on the floor :)
