Freehub swap is possible but I expect you'll have to re-space the non-drive side and re-dish the wheel too.
If you do that, can I have the M475 non-drive cone nut please?
Literally did a freehub swap on a wheel with the exact hub and the NDS nut is badly pitted.
No probs if not, will rummage through the spare bin and hopefully find one.

This m475 is the worst hub I've ever owned. Shit bearings and freehub so not worth the trouble imo

I’m doing some maintenance on my dads bike, his rear wheel is an old deore LX with freehub that’s long enough only for a 7 speed cassette.
I’ve got a 9 speed cassette here and I’d like to use it..
I can plonk it on and lose the 2nd smallest cog and it fits, will this cause any issues? Bit of a big jump but doesn’t look too mad.
I’ve also got a shimano FH m475 that I prob won’t ever bother using and I was wondering if it’s possible to transfer the freehub and axle over, as this is the correct size for a 9 speed cassette.
The other option is just finding a 32h rim and assembling a new rear wheel for him (using the m475 shimano hub). Bit long and be expensive but tempting. The rim of this wheel is nearing the end of its life I think and would be nice to freshen the whole thing up a bit.
