Freehub problem

[SimonLee]

Now that I have WD40 and you said it will leave residue that gumps up. what other stuff would you use? I don't want my hub to fail in the long run either.

Thanks tp everyone who helped!!

On teh freehub body: aren't most (all?) Shimano freehub bodys compatible? Or is the main problem here that it is a 7 speed that is a bit narrower than the current 9 speeds? Replacing with a new freehub body plus some spacers might work, I guess. If the frame can accommodate the additional 3mm or so of width.
