Weld the freewheel remover to a socket wrench. Secure freewheel remover / socket assembly to freewheel / hub with an old quick release skewer. Install socket on pneumatic impact wrench. Set impact wrench on counter-clockwise. Hold hub with left hand protected by leather work glove. Hold impact wrench with right hand and pull trigger. As soon as freewheel breaks free, and it will, stop impacting and remove skewer.
