How can I remove my stuck freewheel?

plumb_pete

I have been trying for days to remove my freewheel using a freewheel tool. I have been using an adjustable spanner for now but it still is not moving. Am I not strong enough? Or is there another trick that I can use? Any assistance is required as I have been stuck for days. Thank you.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Take off the axle nut, slide on the freewheel tool, and replace the nut so that it holds the freewheel tool in place. Lock the freewheel tool in a bench vise. Grasp the wheel at the rim and turn counter-clockwise to unscrew. This gives you more leverage and control than a wrench.
