Fulcrum Quattro freehub slipping

Think the freehub bearings or pawls are shot as noticed occasionally it feels like the cassette hasn't caught and after standing for a while if i rotate the pedals backwards the chain just droops (cassette won't rotate until i move the pedals forward).

These are the 2016 LG alloy model - does anyone know what bearings they take?
I don't particularly want to spend £70 on a new freehub.

Thanks

    You probably don't need new bearings to fix this issue. The freehub comes off, simply with opposing allen keys in each end of the hub body. Then give everything a good clean - you'll see the pawls and I bet they're gunked up.

    Could be the pivots on the rear mech are a bit sticky......
