With the proper tools, I was finally able to remove the crank arms and the entire bottom bracket. I had to purchase a crank puller in order to get the crank arms off. This was quite a project getting them removed because the bike was so old.
The bottom bracket came apart quite easily. I took only the chain side off so that I could pull it out one side and then completely overhaul the bearings. I couldn't get a good picture of the inside but it was pretty nasty in there! On to priming the frame...
