Often times when this happens the powerdome will come seperated from the back plate (where it is touching the freehub) when trying to remove the cassette and it is then extremely difficult to remove the back plate from the freehub. On some occasions they can become so lodged into the freehub body that the only option is to replace both the freehub and the cassette.
