Most freewheels can easily be taken apart and with a bit more patience put back together again.

remove the smaller cogs with two chainwhips until you can access the bearing ring.

unscrew the bearing ring with a hammer and punch , lefthand thread

lift off the freewheel, cathing all the tiny bearings, the two springs and freewheel pawls if you want to reassemble

Put the remainder in a stout vise and unscrew

assembly is a reversal of the procedure ;)
