I might be wrong here, but with my broken freewheel i couldn't get off, i cut the outer cog section off so all the brearings fell out, then clamped the bit that was threaded on the the cranks in a big vice and just turned the cranks. Worked a treat. Should also work fine with a rear freewheel.

Its not too bad. 1st you remover the lever blade. then remove the rubbery thin then the thin silver circlip then you need some inward stretching circlpi plires to remove the next circlp. Do this slowly other wise the piston might pop out too far. then pull the brass barrel and the brass washer out. then put it all back together which is the hard bit because you need to put the brass barrel, the brass washer and the circlip in together whilst pushing the piston back.
