Pretty tough with ultegra or 105 hubs since the pawls are internal to the FH body..Yup, you can take 'em apart, then muck with the 2 pawls(poor idea, IMHO, ask Tyler Hamilton, when his wrench took one of the 3 pawls out and his farging wheel failed) and maybe get all the 1/8 bearing balls back in there, but.....
