Some time ago I posted asking the same question and all the responses were, it’s needs an allen key. I’ve gone to my LBS and they’ve said it needs a tool that goes into the 2 notches in the side (circled).
So which is it, I believe my original post didn’t show the 2 notches clearly.
So it is allen key? Or special tool?

A large hex key goes in the 12-sided hole in the middle there. Usually 11mm or above in size.
The bits you’ve circled are for **disassembling** the freehub which is not advised. There’s a lot of tiny ball bearings and everything has to be put back in the right way.
The hex key gets my vote.
10mm hex key, give it a good push, it’ll go.
Question: Why are taking it off? Sometimes going back on the wheel will need to be trued because of the splined fit to the hub, FYI.
