I might have gotten overly ambitious, because I removed the axle and ball bearings from the rear hub (the hubs are Campagnolo) and after I was done I looked at it wondering how I'll ever get it reassembled.
I have not disassembled the front hub yet, and am thinking I might not.
you do want to overhaul the hubs, bottom bracket, and headset plus replace the consumables.
