Fun Works N-Light hubs

Last year, whilst I was living in Cyprus I bought a pair of wheels on line from Action Sports in Germany. Stans Crest with Sapim CX-Rays on their own in house branded Fun Works hubs. Pretty happy with them they've stayed true and spoke tension is still even.
However a couple of days ago the rear wheel developed a bit of a creak. I took the wheel out and removed the cassette to give the hub a better inspection. When I pulled the cassette off the free-hub body came with it. I tapped it out with a rubber mallet no problem but there doesn't seem to be any "mechanism" holding the free-hub body in place, everything just slides onto the axle and presumably is kept in place by the drop out's. Can this be right ?
Not sure who makes these hubs but presumably they "exist" under a number of names can anyone help with some kind of exploded drawing as whilst it's "in bits" I thought I might as well change the bearings.
This is the hub in question by the way

Many hubs work this way, Hope Pro 2 for one - the freehub just pushes on.0

Hi thanks for that guess being mostly a "roadie" I'm used to hubs that use some sort of "fixing" methord.0

Plenty of road hubs are the same - all DT 240 based freehubs just pull off.0
