Shouldn't be a problem.

The major potential problem is if your current free wheel is actually removable.
Some of the low end ones aren't or need an obscure tool.
In any case, you need to install a free wheel on the new wheel. Possibly a new one if your old one isn't "economically" removable.
IF that's the case, you'd be much better off getting a free hub wheel and installing a cassette for a little more money.

Post pics.
There's a few different "round tools with the groves". You need the correct one. Is there a brand name on the FW?
I think you mean groove? Or properly called splines.
