It looks like you need a Sun Tour two prong freewheel remover and a vise or really big wrench. Or you could take it to a shop and they will take it off for a couple dollars. If you get the tool yourself, place it over the axle and loosely screw a nut down on it to keep the tool from slipping out of the notches. If you have a vise, clamp the freewheel tool in the vise and use the wheel as a lever and turn it counter-clockwise. It could be frozen on pretty tight. Once it breaks free, take the nut off the axle and finish unscrewing the freewheel. Once it is off, you don't need a tool to put it back on, since the pedaling tightens it. Put a bit of anti-sieze on the freewheel threads to make it easier to remove next time.

That Fuji really cleaned up nice. On your front wheel, most people put the quick release lever on the left side.
