is it a 10mm allen to hold the freehub?

is that a planet x hub?

No but it has the freehub asf a dmr from about 15 years ago. Identical design. 12mm key im afraid. Youll need to make a tool to undo the lock ring in the freehub. I use a socket that i ground to lugs in to. Its a left hand thread (word of warning).

To making a tool or to 12mm allen? If the former, yep. If the latter l, 12mm drain plug from halfrauds or ebay. Pick the seal out the back of the freehub and use a spray grease whilst spinning the crap out of the freehub. You know its clean in there at least.

You mean this sort of tool (random quick search)
Loads of them now, been flooding out of China / Aliexpress for a year or so now.

Look at this on eBay

yes that one ^^. I knew I'd seen it somewhere, thanks. Gone are the days of Shimano special tool that cost a fortune and was as rare as rocking horse poop (some bugger nicked mine out the workshop along with my freewheel removal tool).
