hmm, not sure about this particular wheel, but usually the freehub body can be fully removed with a large allen key.
That 2-slot lock ring is for disassembling the freehub body, which is inadviseable, as some have lots of tiny ball bearings inside and it's a whole load easier just to buy a new freehub body. It also usually has a reverse thread like a left pedal (clockwise to slacken).
good video on it here: https://youtu.be/W3O_1P8EMiE?t=34
here's the tool (check dimensions) https://www.amazon.co.uk/CYBTM-Disassembly-Installation-Flywheel-Cassett...
Thanks for info and speedy reply.
Looks like I just need an 11 or 12mm Allen key.

No probs. You might need both! Some freehubs are removed from the opposite side as per this example: https://youtu.be/dfZ8BZLrfT4?t=406
There's a lot of variation and can be a right pain to work out which one you have. I needed a 14mm key for one of my wheels!
