Why you should google/youtube first.

It's really jammed on there.

Ive true using sharp sticks and harsh language but still no go.

Is there an easier way to get it off as I can't be arsed getting a gear puller.

Also need a 12mm Allen key.

What type? If its a hg cassette the best way is to use a big flat head srewdriver to force the cogs back out of the notches in the freehub.

XD Driver or Shimano ? We probably need a picture for an interwebz diagnosis.

Nah all good. Had just bitten into a worn freehub. Vice and a rubber mallet. Couple of lightish taps and she came out. Thanks YouTube.

Best way in future is to hold the biggest cog with a gloved hand and use the chain whip to rotate the bound up individual gears anti-clockwise. This will get them out of the gouges in the freehub and it will come right off.

Yeah saw that on YouTube with the 2 chain whip technique. Did give it a bit of that first but I doubt it was coming off without force. The Freehub is toast regardless

Dress it up with a file, get all the ridges and lumps off it, maybe a bit of life left in it yet.

Unfortunately the lock ring threads are stripped and I can't get it restarted as well.

Worst case I will replace with 11 spd and upgrade drivetrain I suppose
