Wanted Help with raceface affect freehub removal

[ishaw]

Just taken delivery of a set of these wheels. Bearings were supposed to be fine but rears are rough.

I can't quite figure out how to remove the freehub.

Nds end cap has 'loosen' and a direction and fitting for a spanner, but the drive side is a little less clear. It's got no spanner edge but does have what looks like an Allen key fitting. However, no Allen key I possess fits, all are roo small and I have a few sets.

Is it as simple as I just need a bigger Allen key?

I've looked online and nothing I've search for has yielded anything useful. Most help does not seem to be for the hubs on these wheels and end caps seem to pull off on most videos or tear downs I've seen.

Meant to post this in the general >98 section. Oops.

Either way, have done some more research and found a pic of the nds which could be useful.

It shows an Allen key end and also the end cap removed, there doesn't seem to be any thread there so maybe it does just pull off, but it doesn't seem to want to come off by hand.

There was also a pic of the drive side which showed the drive side axle with the threaded end cap removed.

So, are these like novatech hubs where you remove the nds end cap and push the axle out from that side, then slide the freehub off from drive to nom-drive side? Or does the threaded drive side end cap need to be removed and the freehub comes off that side?

The alien key end and threaded end cap must be there for a reason right?
