Trying to follow the advice in Hope’s How To video, but getting stuck at taking the freehub out 🙁

Here is the video (“How to – Rebuild a rear Pro2 hub”), it shows the “action” at 50secs in – anyone know how easy it should be to disconnect the freehub like this? It looks very easy when this guy does it, so am I struggling because
a) my hub is still in the wheel – does that make it harder?
b) I’m just to weak 😳 ?

Thanks for any tips!!

The instructions from cyclistno1 are pretty good, which may offer up extra help/clues:

If you’re hub is still in the wheel, you could try reattaching the cassette and giving it a good pull. That 2p method looks pretty genius as well!

great, thank you both for your quick answers!! back off to the garage to have a go…

if you are going to do the bearings, the Hope ‘drift’ kit is worth it
