I agree with Charles and one other...
Patience...
I know a big beefy guy who once tried to do the job - and knew right off the back it wasn't going to give - even under his torque capabilites.... Poured globs of the lightest weight oil into the freewheel/shell mating and let it sit
all day and all night right there on the vise....
Good tug the next day - off it came...
Occasional tug as Charles suggest helps work it in a little while it sits...
Someone once told me that you can use a dremel to turn a 2 prong into a 4 pronger...clean up the original two with the dremel as well...never tried it myself though.
They might be wrong for all I know because it assumes the same diameter of the prong ring...

> Freeing a stuck freewheel
>
> Use lot of WD 40 or something like that on freewheel threads.
> Wait a day or two
> Hold freewheel tool in a vise
> than try turning wheel just a little bit
> Than wait using more WD-40
> Use repeat turning wheel
> What your doing is creating new places for WD-40 to penetrate.
> It took me 5 days to get one loose
