How to reassemble freewheelbody over roller bearings in a DT Swiss hub?

[Ephraïm]

Hi everyone,
I watched the video about overhauling a DT Swiss XR 2.0 hub from BikeGremlin on YT, which has been very informative to me. At about minute 13, the freewheelbody is being refitted to the hub itself and slides over the roller bearings.
I have a XPW1600 wheelset which uses the same hub and cleaned and reassembled the roller bearings as shown in the video. Also I slide the freewheel over the pawls as shown, but the body is being stopped by the roller bearings. All the bearings are back in the plastic ring, no roller bearing protruding out of the ring (more than normal) as it sits correctly in its place.
Am I missing a trick or am I doing something wrong? Please 'enlighten' me: thank you in advance.

Hi,

To confirm and avoid misunderstanding, this is the video we are discussing:
DT Swiss XR 20 freehub service

The part at 12 to 14 minutes (roughly) discusses how roller bearings are placed back in (one by one, into the plastic shell), i.e. I'm explaining how the whole plastic shell packed with all the bearings will be too narrow on its inner diameter to just slide back into place, without removing at least a few bearings first.

If the roller bearings and their plastic ring didn't sit all the way back, then I suppose that could be preventing the freehub mechanism from being inserted all the way too - it could be bumping into the bearings.

Freehub installation itself is shown from the 18th minute. At 18:45 I am showing and explaining how to get the freehub body over the pawls (to not hit against them).

Note, to be technically correct:
There is no freewheel on that system, it uses a freehub (freewheel vs freehub explained).

Hi Relja,
Thank you for your elaborate reply. I will check if the plastic ring is sitting all the way back.
Best,
