a way easier way of doin it is just takin off the bolt on the one side and then take off the brake arm n put the bolt back on

Simply removing the brake arm doesn't allow free wheel ...
Even with washers, I found a ½ turn slack after back peddling.
Using a lock washer / spring washer I was able to get rid of it.
It takes some trial & error to get enough pinch to hold the bearing up tight and still have some roll in the axle, but I now have a cruiser that free wheels with no visible modifications.
