Yeah. I bought a couple of these Coda hubs from Bikewagon, cheap. When I got them, the bearings felt like carp, so I decided to replace them. Getting them apart was an exercise in frustration: no flats, no apparent purchase to remove an end cap. The gold-colored pieces on the ends came off, but the end cap was still one piece. A friend with a bearing press wasn't able to get anything to move. Finally, I poked a skinny screwdriver down the center and felt a ridge inboard of the bearing. After supporting the hub shell and gently tapping on the ridge from the opposite side, the end cap popped off, revealing that the end cap pressed through the bearing into an axle-spacer sandwiched between the bearings. It's easy to see how some slightly lazy assembly work would ruin the bearings. I put in new bearings, carefully pressed everything together, and they're nice and smooth.
