The Schwinn Approved freewheels were made by Maillard (France), Shimano and Suntour (Japan). Clean a little more grease and grime off and I bet you will find "Japan" on the same black plastic ring. Suntour made very few SA freewheels and those usually were equipped for a 2-Notch removal tool. Which leaves you with a Shimano made SA.

Personally, and this is no surprise to anyone here on C&V, I hate to see a freewheel destroyed as Soody suggests. Since you are located in New Zealand, silferion , maybe we can connect you with a fellow C&Ver who has the appropriate removal tool. Also, your axle will need to be removed because the tool will not fit.
