Thia mid-80's 6 speed freewheel needs some sort of removal tool I don't currently have - anyone know what I need? I've got an FR 1.3, FR 5.2G, FR 4, FR 6. Only the FR6 has a diameter wide enough to even reach the insertion slots, but that's obviously not the right tool. All the rest of the tool are far too narrow of a diameter.


Thanks!!
That is a Shimano Uniglide cassette. You use two chain whips to loosen the outer cog then the outer cog unscrews. The rest of the cogs slide off like a modern cassette.

From the looks of the skewer you have a bike with Shimano 600EX group of the early '80's.
