Re:

If it is a standard 1/2 x 1/8 18t single freewheel back in the 1950s I always used a centre punch, preferable held in a mole grip, and rapid taps with a light hammer on the end bearing plate usually worked. Obviously anti clock to unscrew, if you hit the end plate clockwise you will drop the freewheel apart.

We did have special tools for these that never worked due to the slots being so small.

yes, and keep alternating the slots you hit so that the forces are evened up on the thread (dogs dinner of language I know, but not sure how I can express it better)

I had to dismantle the freewheeel to get it off. Once disassembled it came off quite easily with the help of a hooked spanner. Sprocket is original 1950s and very worn!
