Maybe. For some reason ss freewheel tools are a little more than say 7sp shimano. $9-16. For that. 12" adjustable wrench $10-20. If you wanna do a lot of these get a bench vise.
If you have a notch less freewheel you need a pin spanner (I've used a nail and hammer) and a large pipe wrench or bench vise.
