I assume that once the freewheel is off the cone and this locking nut will be accessible? I plan on keeping the freewheel intact so hopefully this works. Sounds like these are largely throwaway freewheels, but since this is a very clean one-owner bike I'd like to keep it stock for the meantime. I must have a special place in my heart for original, obscure and very heavy Dutch ten speeds.

With these freewheels, you need to remove the axle entirely before using the freewheel removal tool. You need to remove the cone and locknut from the other side and then pull the axle out from the freewheel side.
