Hi Andrew, PDavis,
I have a brand new Aeffect rear wheel, and I am having the same problem. As described above, I pulled off the non-drive-side axle cap (which slides on and is held by an O-ring), used a 12 mm Allen to hold the axle and removed the drive-side, reverse-threaded axle cap. (Andrew, you have it flipped in your Oct. 27 reply.)
I think the freehub should slide off, but it is solidly stuck on the axle. I've even tried putting the hub body in a vice (with plastic jaws) and pulling up on the wheel, but I can't get it off. If you have a solution, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,
SJP
