It spins freely so is not threaded (i think) and i dont want to just pull it with brute force because im afraid of breaking it and i did not found any sourse of information on how to remove it
Its a old 80's Cannondale wheel 630×17

For me, it’s just holding on the hub with some hooks, so I can just take it of by pulling on it. Maybe it’s the same
Just yank it off
Break it

The technical term for that is ‘dork disc’
Wire snips
I have an old knife in my garage. I heat it up with a propane torch and cut through the plastic with every new bike.
You did the hard part of removing the freewheel, just grab on either side of it and pull straight off. The FW pinches it a little and that’s what holds it on, so you might have to really yank on it
clip it with some wire cutters and break it off
It doesn’t matter if it breaks, it’s trash. Just pull it off. Same goes for reflectors

Savage, should just pop off.
Yes, just a pair of side cuts or tin snips and cut it off. Just make sure there’s not little tangs around your spokes if you go to twist it
About a pound of C4.
Snappy snap
just break it off it’s prob brittle af
This kind of protector has a metal plate which engages with the freewheel mounting threads… just get it to engage with the back of the threads and rotate it off, it’s annoying but easier than dealing with it half broken and bent to shit, and then you can reinstall it and save your spokes, and thus your wheel, from the next person who either bends in the rear derailleur or does not know how limit screws work.
Dynamite.
