Just that. Really easy to get an alfine core out. Take off locknut and cone from non drive side, pull out core from other side.
Taking off the cog and shift arm first is a good idea, taje photos first so you get the orientation right.
Clean our existing oil and dirt with brake cleaner and compressed air, find this the most effective. Once dry dip in either car atf (red cheap stuff) or car gearbox oil, gl2, gl4 etc 75w90.
I usually squirt 10ml more into the shell, put back together with new 1/4" bearing (check cone for pitting), and adjust back up.
Before refitting disc i usually ride the bike then leave it non drive side down on the ground, any excess oil will drop out now instead of all over the disc later.

No its my first time. Ok thanks for the tip. I think it needs some service anyway, Im thinking about doing the dip-in-oil treatment. Any suggestions to what more that I can do with it?
