Think it’s a prime r010

Looks the end cap is part of the axle. So as far as I can see the freehub needs to slide down the axle to be removed (ie to the right in this photo)

But it won’t move?

Ideas?

Are you sure the end cap on the freehub doesn't unscrew?

Nope…

This vid I found suggests it just pulls out. Mine is stuck fast. No way I could pull it out with just my fingers

Freehub feels rough and I’m off to Majorca in 4 days

Grrr

is it not part of the axle itself. The other one screws on then the axle just slides out. What prime wheels are they?

might need to see if you can fit a hex key in. There are a couple of prime axles that have endcaps at both ends that screw on

No hex keys required

Finally sorted with a big old hammer and brute force

Thanks all👍
