Can you pull the back wheel off the bike and post a pic of the freewheel up close from the same angle as the youtube french freewheel video?
Most of the newer bikes will have some indexing for tools like the ones previously pictured, but not all do.
That french hub's freewheel YT video looks integral to the hub, and needs to be dissassembled? What a hassle. Most aren't that bad- but not always. Back in the 80-90's some really lousy economy department store bikes had the same deal, no threaded hub/freewheel, or way to unscrew it. They were total POS. When that failed, the whole bike needed to be thrown out, as a new wheel/freewheel was worth more than a new department store bike.
I saw this a lot in the bike shops I worked at as a teenager. The one exception was a dude who had ridden from California to Virginia on his Murray (or Huffy or something). His rear wheel basically fell apart in Richmond. We GAVE him a new rear wheel assembly to get him the rest of the way.
The peanut gallery needs to see a pic of the wheel by itself to see what it is. Good luck.
