All I could see was a hollow shaft of probably 12mm diameter
(a 10mm hex wrench would fall through) with some splines
inside.

On my MTB I had a similar situation even though that has the
10mm hex. A Formula DC-30 hub, and it would not come off.
The LBS owner is a very muscular guy and even he could not
make it turn. So they gave me a whole new rear wheel under
warranty. That freehub didn't even come close to 5000mi.


I don't know Weinmann hubs and a web search wasn't helpful.

'Weinmann cassette hub' returns wheels with Weinmann rims on every
modern brand of hub, mostly Quando and Novatec, some Shimano.


This one has the Weinmann Logo on it and the words "Wheelmaster". It's
not a high-end wheel but does have DT Swiss spokes in old-school
quantity which is important to me. I break a lot of spokes.


Have a good look inside with a strong light. (there are still hubs with
CS body stamped to hubshell)


I'll do that during the next re-lube of the bearings. When I looked on
Sunday I didn't see much meat at all for any kind of fastener to grab
onto. The Shimano hubs need a good amount of torque on the hex screw so
it would have to be something beefy.
