Can you confirm that the freewheel model is a New Winner? Is there any marking?
Not to dispute John T., but the photo looks like it has 4 notches for the removal tool, and my New Winners have only two notches. If it has 4 notches and is a Winner Pro, then it's more plausible to open it up and mess with it.... although I'd still recommend lube first. Just dribble some oil into the gap at the back of the freewheel with it laying on the work bench (with a rag below it, to absorb the oil that flows through the freewheel).

The body has 4 notches and it says winner. How can I open it if it's a winner?
It put some oil in the gap as you recommend. I tokk the nut from the hub away (drive side). Both are cartridge so the first owner changed the original ones. The hubs spins well but ther is something in the drive side, I will keep an eye on it because maibe I should change that 6001 catridge.
