Does the shaft just go thru two holes in the frame or is there a bracket bolted onto the frame at one end? If a bracket, that comes off too. If the shaft just goes thru two holes in the frame I believe it is held by a snap ring in a groove around the shaft. There may be a ring at each end or one end of the shaft may be D shaped and just fit into a shaped opening in the frame to keep the shaft from rotating.

IIRC, the retaining rings are on the inside or the pedal sides of the frame but my memory could be faulty. If on the inside, you will need to move the pedals and any spacer washers inward slightly and compress the spring separating the pedals to access the rings. There is a lube fitting on one end of the shaft but I don't remember if anything there has to come off or if the shaft will just slide thru the holes as is.
