I have a freehub I cannot get off. It is on an Alexrims DM22 but I do not know how to remove it. I was thinking of getting some pencil point pliers and putting them into the two small inserts and try and screw it off?

Help!

    If it is the same as my Sunringle freehub you need to put an alan key up through the centre of the freehub, put the end of the alan key in a vice and turn the wheel to loosen it - not sure if yours is the same
