Best Answer

With some difficulty. For the most common design you will need a set of special tools called cone wrenches. With a cone wrench to hold the cone you can use a normal wrench to undo the locknut, and with that one out of the way you can pull the cone after which the axle will slip right out. As the axle comes out, so will the ball bearings - so do this over a bucket or something.

Do note that different designs require different methods. Internally geared hubs for instance will require more than what's described above.
