Basically just a piece of wood with a hole in it that fits over the freehub and rests on the area of the hub where the spokes attach. Then a similar piece of metal or wood that slides between the lockring and the freehub. Each piece of wood has two holes in it to accept a piece of threaded rod through it. Then a nut can be pressed up against each side of the piece of wood and tightened in opposite directions from one another -- pushing the two pieces of wood apart, and the freehub off the hub.
At this point though, I'm just going to let the Trek shop do it. I want to get back on the road. I'm interested to see how they get the job done too.
Thanks for everyone's input!!
Very strange how the only thing keeping the freehub body onto the hub is the compression of of the entire assembly into the frame.

Unfortunately a typical bearing press doesn't work here

one thing to try, put some of the cassette back on and then some line around it. secure the line to something sturdy, parking meter, sign post, then give the wheel a yank.
not sure how a bearing puller is going to work when the bearings are stuck on an aluminum axle, perhaps i am misunderstanding.

Just got off the phone with the folks at the Trek Superstore in Berkeley. They said a year or two ago they would have punched it out from the inside using a punch or an allen key, but now they use a tool called the "Hub Genie". Here's a video of one in action. I'm still a little skeptical that it's going to be as easy to pull off as it is in the video. I'm just going to have the Trek store do it for me, I'll peer through the window into the shop as they're doing it and report back how well it goes for them.
