  1. That’s an eagle cassette right? You are still able to remove the cassette from the free hub using a chain whip and cassette tool. It’s not ideal now the body is loose from the wheel but that happens with Hope hubs. The loose thing on the ground is an adapter that fits on the other side of the cassette

  2. you should be able to slide the whole thing on the axle again. if it doesn’t work you might need to exchange the freehub body. I also have DT swiss wheels and it’s possible to just pull the body off the axle. However somehow my freehub body got fucked up (don’t know how) i even talked with the DT swiss support and i did everything correctly. I ordered a new body and installed it and it worked flawlessly again. Not sure what happend maybe the factory hammered stuff in so it broke when trying to pull it off but it works just like new again. (my problem was that the pressure on the pawls was too great somehow and the freehub had some drag on it when the wheel was installed. I think some bearings moved a bit).

    So put it on the axle again and then use the necessary tools to remove the cassette from the freewheel (you can also remove the cassette without putting it on the axle as someone else here said). As i said if you put the body on the axle it should slide into the pawls automatically if you turn it a bit. If that doesn’t work there is something wrong somehow. Maybe the pawls are sticking out too mcuh so it doesn’t slide in the ridges or something like that. Have you tried to push the pawls in and then directly into the wheel. So the pawls might still be closer to the hub as if you would leave it lying around for ages because they were compresses so long. I hope i expressed myself clearly.

    You really should have cleaned all that before disassembly. You do not want grit and dirt getting between the moving parts.
