How do you take apart a rear hub?

To take apart a rear hub, first remove the wheel from the bike and then detach the cassette or freewheel using a suitable tool. Next, use a wrench to loosen and remove the locknut and cone on the non-drive side of the hub. Carefully pull out the axle and bearings, making sure to note their arrangement for reassembly. Finally, clean the hub shell and inspect components for wear before reassembly.
