I don't recall having heard this as a solution, but I still have not read hundreds of old posts yet, so forgive me if this has already been suggested. This comes to me from Chris Kvale who heard it from a customer.

An excellent way to remove a freewheel from a hub which has had its spokes and rim removed is to adapt the appropriate FW removal tool to fit into a pneumatic impact wrench. The effectiveness of the impact wrench relies on the inertia of the freewheel mechanism. It doesn't matter as much that the FW body is free to spin.

This should work!
