Removing Shimano BMX freewheel

[Deano]

I've got one of these and, as it never gets used, I'd like to remove it from my flip-flop hub.

Does anyone know of a way to get it off without resorting to buying a tool that would get used once, and without going to the LBS?

Screwdriver and a hammer?

Crush the freewheel in a vice, it won't be much use afterwards though.

Thanks for that, but I'd prefer to preserve the thing if possible. 

Otherwise a hammer and chisel would definitely be my modus operandi

I've got a remover wot I bought for a coulpa quid when I had the same problem.

I could lend it to you by post...

Cheers MV that is very generous!   

I'm going to have a couple of goes at removing it myself (probably over the weekend), but I may PM you if I don't have any success.

Sorted now- thanks all!

I just had to root through my mate's toolbox and find his adjustable pin spanner from the dark old days of cup & cone bottom brackets.  Job done!
