I would think it would work on a splined freewheel you would just need to remove the bearing to remove the freewheel

I am asking about removing the right side axle locknut, removing a spacer that sets inside the freewheel body, and replacing it with a bearing the correct size to take up all the clearance between the axle and the freewheel body then replacing the locknut. The axle will no longer have the clearance to bend at the inside edge of the cone.
Seems my memory was off a bit, but here's a link to where I saw it:

There used to be thread there with a pic, but the text is clear enough
