Finally managed to remove the freewheel with a bmx tool and a 1m pipe. Yep, seems like a spring issue, pawl(s?) aren’t returning despite ample wd40. Trying to remove the faceplate but the dimple for a pin tool are quite shallow and just the right place so that the park tool spa won’t fit :/
Managed to get it out with some heat. Took it apart, broken spring as suspected. Easy fix, should’ve bought two of these bikes.
