Tech Tuesday: How & Why to Upgrade Your 3-Pawl DT Swiss Hub to a Star Ratchet
I managed, together with a bike shop mechanic who'd done it several times before, to actually break the DT Swiss tool to remove the pawl ring from inside the hub. Broke the hollow axle inside the hub too! Luckily having DT Swiss "down the road" I nicely asked them and shipped the wheel to them and they removed it for me and shipped it back. Don't underestimate the force required to remove that bloody ring! Feels like you're seriously going to break your wheel! That said, much happier with a 54T ratchet hub than the pawl on tech stuff, but each to their own
