Older Bontrager-branded DT Swiss hub overhaul

(Correction: These appear to be Novatec hubs, rather than DT Swiss. Hat tip to @davidad for that info. I'd been bumbling around for months trying to find info on these hubs.)

This older Bontrager sealed cartridge bearing hub feels grindy. The end cap is reverse threaded, not the newer type with freehub that pull off.

​​​​ It appears to be a rebadged DT Swiss 240, laced to Race Lite Aero rims with 16 flat aero spokes.

It came off a Trek Equinox E9 tri-bike, aluminum frame with carbon fiber fork. Probably from 2006 or so.

I've Googled around and can't find any info on this particular hub. The wheelset is good so I'd like to salvage the hub if possible.

Any tips for disassembly or links to diagrams appreciated.
