If you removed the axle it might be easier to jury rig something. Although just go get the tool is my suggestion, I think they're 6 dollars or something like that.

The remover tool works great, however, if you have much in the way of axle spacers on the side with the free-wheel you may have to remove the hub locknut and spacers to get the tool in the notches.

If its one of the cheapo freewheels without the four prong tool interface, you have to use a pin spanner to take the cog and bearing seal off, then put the screw-on body in a vice and twist. "destructive removal."

this works for multigear and single speed freewheels when you dont have the right tool.https://www.sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html
