Secialized Allez elite 2010 rear wheel hub rebuild

[petefelstead]

Can anyone help, my rear wheel free hub packed up and I decided to see how far I could get in sorting it out. I have got so far but not sure how to get the final bit off. I am assuming I need a special tool?

You need a larve, long allen key. Usually 11 or 14mm. Rare to find one in the average toolbox. Shove it into the hole where the axle came out and unscrew the freehub. The allen key's short end wont reach.Best to use a hex socket with extra long bit.

Hi, thank you very much for your help. I did get the hub off but now need a replacement. Can you advise if this will be suitable, https://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-wh-r501-r-freehub-body/.
