Freewheels will be std size, the shop perhaps only has the smaller freewheel size and is unfamiliar with the technology!MM
They are screwing it the wrong way on aren't they ? what freewheel are they using ? even Star-X mags use that same style as the rest

Yep. Remove the pawls from what's left of the freewheel and belt it off with a punch using the pawl grooves. Think the damaged threads are part of the old freewheel, so the threads for freewheel mounting should be ok. Looks to me (after you've removed the rest of the freewheel) that that's a standard 15/16/17/18 tooth freewheel thread.
Ok at this point you have to ask your self if it is worth it ? why ?cos i know that the star mags are not great and if you intend to ride them, i hope you don't weigh more then 8st as you will find them soft /wobbly and make your ride feel like shite so it's up to you
I used a drimmel to get some stuck freewheels off and it's a bugger to do and not mess up the threads I might have a set of black OGK for sale if you need ? lmk cheers B
