Glad to help. These older bikes are great to learn wrenching on.

If you don't want the hassle of buying tools right away, take the rear wheel to a bike shop and have them swap the freewheel for you. Otherwise you'll need a Shimano-splined freewheel tool and a chain whip. A decent chain tool is a good investment regardless (I use a Park model). Nashbar has some general purpose tool kits for reasonable cost, especially on sale. I bought most of my tools the expensive way - one at a time!
