cant beleive BF police haven't swaremed in and yelled at you for calling that a freeWHEEL body, it's a freeHUB body. and as the other poster said, yes, they can come off but generally they are held together with a hex bolt Some ultralight hubs that use cartridge bearings are simply press fit together with dustcaps. the real question is has it been damaged beyond repair as a result of these incidents.
