Good luck getting that freewheel off.

I bought a vintage bike that had sat outside rusting for over a decade. It took me a lot of work, a lot of penetrating oil, and a bit of heat (hair dryer, did not want to use anything that would damage paint), to get the bottom bracket out of the frame. Plus putting my foot with my weight on it on a 15 inch long wrench helped a little.
