You’ll need a crank puller and a chain whip. After that, whatever tools needed to undo the BB and the cassette. Some pics or more info needed to determine what these are

Do a web search and find a link to a picture of what you have you need to remove, in the BB type..

There were a lot of old Schwinn's with a lot of different components on them. All requiring different tools for some things. So which model and year is yours?

I was a Schwinn certified mechanic back in the early '80's. As others said, Schwinns used several common brands of bottom bracket and freewheel/cassette. A good starting point is the Park Tools site: https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help
