[BeckConnell]

Hi everyone, hope you are all well! Does anyone know how to take this free hub off?

Stick a big allen key down the hole where the axle goes... 10mm at a guess

And turn it the right way! You need to check but if my memory serves me correctly it is a conventional thread.

It is either 11mm or 14mm, depending on the hub model. These are not regular toolbox sizes.

Pretty sure my Shimano hubs have always been 10mm or another standard size I have in the kit.

You may well be right and I will stand corrected if need be, but the axle itself is 10 mm and I still have a 1/2 inch socket with 11mm hex extension here I used to use for exactly that job, hence me having been so sure it's 11.
On the aluminium Shimano axles, which were 12mm IIRC, the freehub body came off with a 14mm hex key.
