Yes I ended up buying a crank puller and freewheel removal tool. I made a cone wrench out of some 1/8" steel I had laying around. Other than that I had all the tools.

Got the crank apart. Everything was disintegrated and the balls were just loose in there. Tried to remove the cup on sprocket side but it wouldn't budge. But I was able to clean it up in place. ...
