Get a freewheel tool, clamp it on so it will not slip, get a spanner on it, then the magic bit, get a VERY long pole on the end of the spanner!! I used my old t-comp frame for levage. It should come off, just keep trying that how i manged to get 3 of the fuc*ers off.

Strip it down, pull all the pawls and springs off, lamp it up in the vice across the flats left by the missing pawls and twat the crank with a hammer.

I used to lock the freewheel tool onto the crank with like a g-clamp type thing then put a big spanner on the tool but at an angle so that you make a wide angle V between the crank arm and the spanner. Place the assembly on the floor with the point of the v (the freewheel) raised off the floor and STAMP on the freewheel! Make sure you have some tough soled shoes on and it should work. Always did for me anyway...
