I am not certain that tricycles are universal enough in their design to have a generic servicing site.

The trike I worked on most recently had caps over the bolts on the rear wheel that could be pried off (carefully) with a screwdriver. Under that is a standard nut. But that doesn't mean it's the same for yours.
