Long story short: completely stripper the hex slot on the back of the freehub body while trying to remove it. It’s incredibly tight. Can I just take a pipe wrench to it from the front or do the teeth seen here on the new part lock with the wheel hub making it impossible to turn?

    You’re looking for a bearing puller tool .

    I would just take it to a bike shop and they’ll have the tools and experience to make this easy.

      There’s no more bearings, everything has already been disassembled. This has loose cup and cone bearings. It’s only half of the freehub that’s left stuck to the wheel hub. You’re supposed to remove it by unscrewing a bolt that’s holding it thru the wheel hub from the brake disc side with a long hex key but I stripped the hex slot in it.

        I’ve managed to take out stripped allen bolts with a torx bit before.

        You centre it and bang it in with a mallet and hope to hell there’s enough holding on to turn the stripped one out.
