Correct. A lot(all?) are still only 2 pawls and ya stick one down, you very well may break the other. As mentioned, take the FHB off the hub, pry the back seal off, flush, dry then OIL, Never grease. I use automotive synthetic oil.

You can use the proper tool to take the FHB apart and start sanding the cone, type stuff but if the above doesn't work, just buy a new FHB..seal off and oil in there before installation...Seems Shimano is trying to save $ by not using any oils(or grease) in a lot of their stuff.
