Are they caged? Decent hubs rarely use cages.

Barnet,
Looks like normal cup and cone bearings.
Take all the nuts, locknut and cone off of that side of the axle, and the axle should slide through the other side.
The red part will either come out on it's own, or may unscrew from the hub to reveal the bearings.
Large flanged hubs look great.
What is the name stamped on the hub?

Here is a link that may be of some use.
It's a bit long but does get to how to change sealed bearings if that is what you have.
