@swmlon Have you already tried injecting oil or sprayable grease into the gap between freehub and hub body to try and 'rehydrate' the existing grease to free it up? Why you are continuing with attempts to disassemble it, probably damaging the NDS bearing in the process, when it's probably unnecessary is puzzling.

(As was suggested in the link to the cyclingUK forum I posted above... https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=136251)

...But I'd query whether you need to remove the freehub body;

a) as you have it at present you can relubricate the freehub body bearings, free off sticky >pawls etc (put lube between the RH seal and the RH bearing)
...
hth

cheers

Because I like any opportunity to take a hammer to the bike :D

As to part A, can't see how to get purchase on the orange seal to then relubricate without removing the axle at least.
As to part B, I'm don't understand what they meant by "reshim the freehub body in situ"
