I'm curious why you want to remove the freewheel. Your bike has what Shimano called their Front Freewheel System FFS. This drivetrain is completely different from every other drivetrain as the rear cassette is fixed (doesn't freewheel) and the chainrings freewheel around the crank. If you want to replace anything, odds are you will need to replace the entire drivetrain but the derailleurs and shifters. I just sold one of these and I wrote about it in my blog
