Have various freewheel tools but not for this type? Can anyone point me in the direction of where or how to remove?

You need a [pin spanner](https://www.parktool.com/en-us/product/pin-spanner-green-spa-1?gQT=1) to [remove it](https://youtu.be/-V-jSkY8Rbs?si=SFzPRrmg-snBZSk4).
These are reverse threaded (righty-loosey).
On cheap Wheels there are sometimes freewheels that are not intended to remove.
You would have to disassemble the whole freewheel.
Pin punch and a BFH (big fu**in hammer)
Righty loosy on these, then you’ll need some decent vice grips to get the freewheel out, lefty loosy on that tho 🙂
This one needs dismantling. The pin spanner will take the outer locking off then it was all fall apart. You will need to put the left over part in a vice and use the wheel as a lever to unscrew it. Good luck!
Put the freewheel in a vice and crush it so it binds. You can then turn the wheel to get it off. Standard thread.
Haven’t fooled with them, but from the pix in this vid:

Perhaps your OP put it on backwards? That’s why we’re seeing those pin spanner divots at all. (You can see the actual removal splines on the other side.)

so, a pin spanner might get you in to the ratchet, but you’d still have to grip the body somehow.
