what kind of line?
i would think that the opposite side of the where the chain wheel goes there should be some nuts on the bottom bracket
un screw them and it should come off
there might be a little ring in side the 2nd screw
srry if im a little hard to understand

once you have the crank arms off and the spindle out you should be able to just hammer out the bearings with a screw driver if you have an american bottom bracket, if its a euro, you'll need a special wrench or socket to unscrew them.

one more thing, don't put the screw driver on the bearing, put it on the big aluminum spacer the bearing sits in, unless you feel like buying new bearings
