Threaded type, it's not a left handed thread or anything clever is it? Any other tips, obviously I've not got the correct tool or anything 🙄
Normal thread but can be a bit tight. Tool in a vice and wheel on top works for me as you can use the wheel as a lever.
Not got a vice either. Obviouly this CAN wait until Tuesday at work, but I've just put a fixed on the other side of the hub and leaving the free looks untidy.
Ah, you might struggle if you don't have any kit.
Use a qr to hold the tool onto the freewheel.
Then a BFO spanner on the tool.

BFO spanner, check. Proper tool, still no. 😆
This method with kill your free wheel by the way....
Screwdriver and big hammer. Tapping the copver plate off and letting all the gubbins fall out helped me I found.
I might want to use the freewheel in future, so good tip but think I'll give that one a miss. Ta.
If you don't have the nifty tool, you're not going to remove it.
If you do have the tool, put the tool on the FR, use a QR done up quite loosely to hold the tool in place. Put spanner over tool. Then get a very long metal tube (I have a 2m length of old climbing frame pipe) over the end of the spanner. Then just undo it. Comes off every time without any fuss or agro.
