Can't say for the S5s but my 2009 5s, you just undid the locknuts (17mm IIRC) and the spindle comes out, (watch out for two different sized spacers, get them the wrong way round on re-assembly and the cassette fouls the dropouts), then the freehub just slides out.
it may be different on yours, but certainly mine were dead simple.

Not quite the same hub.
I've done it; the LH bearing is a standard 6001 and the RH bearing is inside the freehub and is a smaller 6000. I couldn't understand how it all worked until I got the RH bearing out - it fits inside a sleeve INSIDE the freehub but attached to the hub, the freehub rotates around it. You remove the freehub with an 11mm hex down the inside but since it seemed to be running OK-ish I just left it and replaced the two hub bearings. Effectively the static part of the freehub is carrying 50% of the weight.
The original bearings were goosed; the result of my riding buddy washing his cassette down with citrus degreaser and water! There's a small amount of play in the freehub but I'm hoping the new hub bearings will cure the graunching he's been suffering under power.
