I have no idea what kind of tool it'd take to get this off. It's a cheap 7 speed Sun Race cassette. It looks like it might fit a cross looking tool into the gaps on the shiny outside ring. The ring on the inside looks like a standard cassette remover (one that would work with say, a SRAM) would fit inside it but I don't thing that has anything to do with the cassette. Anybody have an ideas? Thanks.

cant see in the photo, but if the standard cassette remover fits in it, the chances are that its what you need to be loosening

Looks like you need one of those Cassette removers but with a thin Hex-shape in order for it to slip between that ring of metal circling the hex-bolt. You know the removers, with those pins sticking in the middle..... There's no other clues on show, looking at that pic...

You need a freewheel tool to remove that. Put the tool in a vice or clamp it with an adjustable spanner and turn it anti clockwise to remove it.

You want a freewheel removal tool like this one:

Sheldon Brown has a good guide on this.

Sheldon's website actually shows that for his cassette with 4 teeth, he'd need the TLP23 FR-3tool :
