How to remove a bicycle freewheel - Build a Single Speed!

Process on how to remove a bicycle freewheel if you desire a single speed drive instead.

NOTE: Make sure you buy the correct freewheel remover tool. Pay attention to the number of slots yours has -- some of the newer ones have 4 so take a look.

Mine is a Park FR-2 Suntour 2-Prong Freewheel Remover that I purchased here:

In the real world, freewheels that have been on since 1984 don't come off that easily.
