I've recently acquired some middleburn hubbed wheels with the grease ports.

I want to tear them down and service them before use.

I've looked online and not found a whole lot on how to do this or even what bearings may lurk inside.

Anyone know how to do this or point me at a guide?
 
I’ve done a rear hub not that long ago, iirc the qr ends unbolt with a 5mm and then it’s a case or drifting out the axle in a similar fashion to the ti-glide. The freehub needed new springy rubber bits inside.
 
I had a blue anodized Hope rear hub and wanted it in black, so I disassembled it completely.
Unfortunately, it was about 20 years ago, and all the photos I took of the process disappeared on a computer that suddenly "died."
I made the appropriate decals, and the rear hub turned out beautiful in black. When I moved house, it was lost, and I'm still sad about it.

I remember that no tools were needed; everything came out by hand (the bearings obviously require tools). I used a special DT Swiss hub maintenance tool to grip the sides without damaging them.
I remember it being perfect, mechanically simple, straightforward, and logical, very similar to the DT 240 S.
I only have the photos left of when I removed the blue anodizing before re-anodizing it in black.
I don't know if they can help you.
