A classic case of JRA, the drive side bearing died on me during a ride without any prior hints of its impeding death.
Anywho, anyone got any ideas how to get the remaining fragment of the outer race out of the hub? It is meant to be pulled from the non-drive side, resting against a lip. I guess there is a lengthy session of tapping it our with a fine tip screwdriver in my future.
Also, the freehub bearing's delrin retainer is seized in place and cannot be unscrewed. Any hints?

I hammered the remaining shrapnel out, the other bearing removal should be a piece of cake, new bearings are en route, another wheel is already on bike.
Felt like a bad gear change when pedaling uphill - but for no reason. I think I know why - the freehub body's circular spring is likely too short (perhaps a tip broke off), and one of the pawls gets lazy sometimes. One sided force application would do that to a bearing, I guess. Luckily, the ratchet and hub body look fine, and Suzanne@Hadley is sending me new pawls, spring and seals and, a spanner free of charge. Their CS rocks!!
