No, 'fraid not.

The FR-5 is for newer Shimano freewheels, 23.5 mm diameter.

The O.P. needs this model: http://harriscyclery.net/itemdetails.cfm?ID=569 20 mm diameter.

If the O.P. just needs to remove it to discard it and upgrade to a newer freewheel, it doesn't make sense to buy the tool, rather, remove the freewheel by destruction. This is explained at http://sheldonbrown.com/freewheels
