Here is the Deal , i know bike basics and stuff..... i just cant figure out how to take out this Crankshaft???

I have never took one out this is my first time , I have watched some vids and pics but they look way different then my bike.

If you need to take out the bearings cartridge, you need a bottom bracket tool. Why do you want to do that though? is the current cartridge bad? Those bearings are sealed there and I dont think you cant grease them any way. So one usually get a new cartridge once the existing is going bad.

You could find the tool for like 10$ and a cheap bb from 12-20$ Make sure its from the usa. or possibly ask you local bike shop what they would charge if you dont ever plan to change another.
Heres a link to a video of a sealed bb like yours. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnYoYVTnlo

Remember that the drive side cup is LEFT-HAND thread.

And remember to get that right square taper for the crankset...

Do yourself a favor and ask on a BMX board. BMX bottom brackets are different from the ones commonly found on road bikes. You need to ask somebody who is competent with BMX bikes.
