In my case a rather large pipe wrench in combination with a chain whip was needed. I was (am?) still interested in replacing the freehub body. I searched in vain for a replacement. Ordered one online and it didn't fit. I even enlisted 2 buddies from 2 different lbs and still couldn't find the correct replacement part. Those wheels were fun for a while but they became a nightmare.
