Subject: [CR]Servicing Harden hubs

Can anyone give me guidance on stripping these hubs, please? The only reference to this I've been able to find is in early Harden advertisements, warning owners not to strip them, but to return them to the factory. Since this is out of the question, and since I'm ham-fisted (8 percent in my school wood work exam) I'd like to know how to proceed. I'm referring to the ones with cartridge bearings, of course, not the Flywates.

At this stage, I just want to get the end caps off, and flush out old grease prior to re-greasing them, but details of how to remove and replace bearings would be most welcome. I've checked the archives, and see that Amir asked the question earlier in the year, but can't find a reply.
