I managed to get my freewheel cluster off today. Well, The BikeShed did. He put the freewheel remover tool in a vice and tried to turn the wheel. At first, it was too hard, but he persevered and it came. When I got home, I cleaned the freewheel and the wheel hub a bit, but I need to do a more thorough job of it.
The BikeShed was also able to loosen the cone and nut from my front axle.
I'm happy they are all off.
