Well, I've got one and its buggered..... as am I, trying to work out how to get it off.
I looked from the cassette side but cant see any slots for an allen key. Any ideas? (apart from tourettes, or a hammer).
ps. despite what google says, this thing uses loose bearings in a cup and cone fitting.
large allen key from non drive side.
either way unless you can fix it, which i doubt you cant get spares, spec used to say they are a disposable part - along with the rest of the wheel..
Unlike a Shimano you get at the Stout freehub from the non-drive side. It's a bigger key as well, try 12mm.
hmmm presumably you can replace the freehub with another though?
newp... not that i found
I just changed wheels when mine went - after similar investigations.
Some pics might be helpful to those that might want to help you... 😐
Allen key from non drive side and a trip to your local Spesh dealer ,
Is the bearing surface on the non drive side ok and what's the rest of the wheel like
Before you spend money on somthing that's dead anyway
I have a set of spesh wheels with stout hubs.. is it impossible to get a freehub then? out of interest..
I'm 99% sure its a 11mm (7/16th fit too) allen key. I've never been able to get one off even using a vice and breaker bar, and unless your spec shop has a spare hanging about you can't really get them (IIRC they are an ancient DT swiss design that they don't make spares for any more)
Like others here I just spent £50/£60 on a new wheel on fleabay.
It is a very large allen key from the non-drive side 12mm sounds about right. I called my local'ish Spesh Concept store last year and got a new freehub body for £12 
As with Tomaso above I called a local specialized pro dealer and they sourced the part for about a tenner iirc.
Ended up with the same fix as Tomaso. Just took the old body apart and its fair to say its had a hard life.
Well that just tells me Spec UK were being difficult cos the shop wasnt a Spec dealer..hmph
