Yep. Worth reading this: "Traditional Thread-on Freewheels" https://www.sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html
They can be hard to shift if seized on a bit. A long bar helps with leverage.

If it's not a screw on 'block' as I call them, it may be an old ug cassette where the smallest sprocket threads onto the freehub. The usual way to remove is with two chainwhips.
It might be a suntour cassette, in which case you need 2 chain whips as the smallest cog (or smallest 2, depending on the model) act like a lock ring but don't have the lock ring fitting like most other cassettes. I think a mate had a mirage bitd, and I seem to recall it being suntour equipped.
Good luck. If you can post a close up photo of the hub and cassette/freewheel then it should be possible to say which one it is with a bit more certainty. I think they changed year on year. Think I've seen a 91 catalogue that suggests a Hyperglide 7 speed cassette but earlier ones will be different.
