If the bike is old enough to use a freewheel, the same corrective action and outcome apply.
Hmmm.....I do not know what a freehub body is, but I assume it is the extension that allows the cassette to be mounted to the hub. If that is not what it is, then I start at a loss.

I cannot even begin to guess what pawls are, and I think of months when u say annular space.

I will use my favorite tool on my bike, however, a search engine, but I would be grateful to anyone who can be me to it and post what those are.

Thanks alot for your quick responses.
