As the title really, I've got an M618 freehub body and it's a bit loose. I've only ever messed with cup and cones for the outer bearings so not sure how to adjust the freehub? It's a through-axle hub if that makes a difference

If it's got play in it then it will need replacing.

Looks like the replacement part # from Madison is 3TL 9804 (£39.99)

I think you can remove one or two "bearing adjustment washers":

Ah, interesting, thanks. Worth a look.

Now, how do I remove the freehub body? Obviously being a 12mm rear it isn't the usual allen key job.
