Even though I have several tools, I can never tell which one to use just by looking. Maybe others here can. I suggest you bring the wheel to a shop and buy the correct tool from them. They may even remove it for you if you do.

Current (and the China made Shimano freewheel is a modern one) Shimano freewheels use the Park FR-1.3 (or it's variants). Andy

Thanks.

Either the Park tool Andrew suggests or the Shimano TL-FW30.

Just looking at the pic I started wondering if these come in a 3/8” ratchet drive in addition to the open wrench kind? My BB cup tool is 3/8” drive. Very convenient when using a torque wrench.
