To Mark's point, you'll need to secure the freewheel somehow so you can get at that lock ring with a lot of force - maybe even a pipe wrench. They used to make a freewheel holder that fit into the jaws of a bench vise (one is pictured on Sheldon's website here https://www.sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html - scroll down to the heading "Sprocket Replacement and Restoration"). I had one at one point, but the tool box I kept it in was stolen. Unlike the DNP product, other manufacturer's freewheels were set up so that the smallest sprocket was threaded and a chain whip could be used to unscrew it. This model looks like DNP intended for a special tool to be used.
