roval hub / deemax dh

chatlow

Hi All
I spent ages last night trying to remove what I believe are end caps on a roval hub in order to see the bearings and order replacements. The tip I was given was to use the thru axle just inside (in the gap between the cap and bearing) then lever it off.
No luck. I budged a bit and fouled so it got stuck and wouldnt spin, but not fully out. I am worried about too much pressure on this
Has anyone got the same setup and am I missing something obvious?

Thanks
