I screwed the cassette lockring onto the freehub without the cassette fitted. I know, I know, dumbass, but how can I get the thing off now? I tightened it fairly tight and I don't want to stick the freehub in a vice in case I damage it.

towel or similar cloth and a pair of waterpump pliers, wrap the cloth round the freehub to avoid damage, hold it tight with the pliers and undo with the lockring tool

good luck ๐Ÿ™‚

Do you have any mole grips, if you do wrap a cloth round the body then use the mole grips. HTH

Just wrap the chain whip round the freehub body with a bit of cut up innertube under it.
