So...I brought in a wheelman last night. The front tire was flat, so obviously the wheel had to come off. Worked that out and then decided that now was the time to service the hub... Since the wheel was off.
Anyway, removed the cottered cranks... And now I'm stuck. Any ideas where to go from here?

If it has sealed bearing and still turns smooth I would not think you would need to mess with it.
Otherwise looks kinda like the old cotter cranks...good luck. Might not be fun...o_O
 
Those are cartridge bearings pressed into the lollipop bearing holders--the central hub itself is solidly fixed and requires no service. A ball joint separator may be required to coax the outer bearings from their perch on the spindle. Unless they show signs of problems, leave 'em alone.
