Whats the deal with the 23" frames? Just fewer of them around?

Fresh oil used afterwards of course!
I'd pull the whole cartridge out but don't disassemble it, you can roll it around in some kero and get it nice and clean the screw it back in.
You can just clamp the outer flange of the drive side of the hub in a bench vice and spin the cartridge out, I've only done 3, but that technique worked for all of them.
