If there is a fixed cog on the other side, you don't need a tool to flip the wheel other than a wrench to take the two nuts on the axle off. Take the chain off with your hands.

Is your chain too short and you cant get the wheel out? try deflating the tire if that's the case to give you some room to remove the wheel
have you ever ridden a bike before?

just unscrew both rear axle nuts (you dont need to take them all the way off, just enough to be able to take the wheel out of the frame) remove the chain from the sprocket and chainring (just let it hang off the frame). take the wheel out completely. flip the wheel over and put it back in the frame, guiding the chain back on as you fit it into place.
or you can watch someone do it on youtube.
lol.

The first thing you'll have to do is remove the kanibling pins from the dynamic fluxuator, this does not require a special tool, a claw hammer will work.
Also when your putting it back together please ensure that the johnson rods don't get bent or you'll get what is known as HSW (high speed wobble) for you laymen out there.

It was directed towards the guys loling at the OP but saying a chaintool was for tightening sprockets.
Not so say the guys doesn't know the difference between a chainwhip and chaintool, it was just a funny mistake given that he was laughing at someone for not knowing how to take off their rear wheel.
And Negative Force, are you seriously mocking over the internet?

I'm looking forward to the You-Tube video when you need to deal with your first flat.
