Puch Odyssey SUNTOUR DJ freewheel
I recently picked up a PUCH ODYSSEY.
I freewheel on the rear is labeled Suntour DJ VIA Maeda Industries LTD Japan
I cannot find any information on the freewheel.
Want to remove it and I am looking for the right 4 pronged freewheel remover.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

In Google, type "Suntour 4 prong freewheel remover". You should get about 51,000+ hits, many with the correct socket-type tool for the removal of this vintage of Suntour freewheel. If you don't want to purchase your own tool, a bicycle shop that caters to older bicycles should have the freewheel remover tool around, and for a price, remove your freewheel for you (just take in your removed rear wheel). Take a look at RJ's the Bike Guy tutorial on youtube, to get an idea of what effort is involved. Good luck.

DJ is probably the date code, indicating October 1987. By this time all SunTour freewheels were four notch, except for the Perfect. To the best of my knowledge all the SunTour four notch freewheels use the same remover, with the exception of the BMX single speed freewheels. The most common remover is probably the Park FR-3, though there are others.
