How do you do this? There is a 12mm fitting inside the freewheel body that can be accessed from the non-drive side, but I've reefed on it as hard as I dare and it hasn't budged.

Put the allen wrench in a bench vise. Make sure the work bench is also attached to a wall or the floor. Leave the tire on the wheel. Put the wheel onto the wrench and give the wheel a big bear hug. Turn the wheel (remember counter clockwise to loosen) with all you have got. Pulse it if necessary. The spokes may make some noise but it should break loose. If not the only other thing I can think of is to use an impact wrench. Do you have a friend with a air compressor?
