Shimano WH-R550 rear service

Anyone serviced one of these? The rear on my training bike is making funny noises so I'm going to have a go at servicing it tonight.

 

I guess that removing the cluster, the freewheel and then dissasembling the axle is how simple it should be?

 

Any tips or tricks?

Never done it before, but a good tip would be dont have any parts left over in your hand when you've reassembled it.

Check that the lock nuts on the axle are tight else the wheel will make a noise - I'm not saying that's your problem, just mentioning it because it took me months (and lots of cash) to find the root of the noise coming from my rear wheel.
