That was the answer - pulling on the cassette. Thanks much for the "secret" to remove. BTW, I'm not too impressed with the "press fit" components for the freehub. Must have been much cheaper to manufacture this way rather than using conventional threads.
Hi Decolocsta,
I'm also trying to service a Mahle x20 freehub. Can you describe in more detail how were able to "pull on the freehub and it will come Off"? I can't get it to budge. Thanks in advance.
