To disassemble:

Remove fasteners F1. Note that you'll have to do this in two passes as the first bolt can't be removed until the other two are loose.
To Assemble
Bolt hub (C) to upright using fasteners F1 and F2. The hub is attached to the side of the upright with the four shallow recesses (the axle side has deep recesses.
Apply anti-seize to the spines and threads on the stub axle (A).
Tighten the axle nut (F3).
Install a new cotter pin (F4) into the axle stub (A).
