Suntour XC-Expert / XC-Pro Freehub Question

Re:

wait till you have to get a cassette off after it been used for a while.
it'll make a freehub look like child's play.

Mind haven't been hard to get off, but then having a rim attached always helps.

I've heard those are a blast!

I can confirm that the brake cable / wood method works. I needed a piece of pipe to use as a breaker bar for my 10mm allen wrench, but it broke loose on the 8-speed XC-Expert hub with no issues.
Put the 8-speed freehub body on the (damaged....) XC-Pro hub with the Micro Drive seal. I think the 8 speed axle that I ordered is not needed, because it went back together with the Grease Guard axle that was in the original 7 speed hub.
I ordered another XC-Pro hub. The scratching really bothers me. But I can use this one to dial in the shifting then use the one I ordered this morning to have the wheelset built. And I was going to use this shop to build these, I'll be talking to another shop now.
