I've replaced my gear cable (with help from palmersperry - thank you!), I have more than one gear.
The thought occurs to me that perhaps the easiest way for you to get more, higher gears (which IIRC is what you're after?) is to replace the chain-rings at the front with larger ones rather than swapping your freewheel at the back.
I'm pretty certain you've got MTB chainrings (so the biggest ring is probably about 40-44T), when you could swap to road chainrings (which go up to about 53T). Just need to make sure that whatever you get for the front is compatible, chain-wise, with whatever goes on the back!
The bonus is that I already have a crank-extractor for getting chainrings off thanks to Tom Riley ...
