That’s a freewheel. You need freewheel removal tool. And a big strong wrench with long lever – those things sit EXTREMELY tight.

Thats a freewheel. Sont need the whip for that. Just a long ass wrench and the removal tool and a lot of hopes and prayers. If you have a vice then its easy just clamp the removal tool in it, slot the wheel on it and turn.
The axle can be removed if it’s in the way. But I think you usually don’t have to remove it.

You need the park tools fr1.3 tool. I got the decathlon one with a big fuckoff wrench and a seatpost that I slid over the top and still felt like I nearly broke my wrists with the amount of force I had to use. If you have a vise I highly recommend taking that route, where you mount the tool in the vise and put the wheel in then twist the wheel

The freewheel removal tools linked are the correct ones. The way I remove freewheels though is I tighten the tool in a big vise, put the wheel into the tool, make sure the tool splines are all the way in, then use the wheel itself like a giant steering wheel to loosen the freewheel. I always think, “you turn the bus to the left” to know which way you turn to loosen the freewheel.

That’s a freewheel not a cassette, so you don’t need the chain whip. What you need is a freewheel removal tool like [this one](https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product/freewheel-remover-fr-1-3?category=Cassette+%26+Freewheel).
