There may be better resources for this; that’s just something I found quickly.

Just take out the lockring and take a look.

There’s two holes on the left of the lock ring. You need to put a pin spanner in those two holes and squeeze and the lock ring will contract and then you’ll be able to pull it out.

Klein, Fat Chance, and Gary Fisher had this proprietary press fit BB. You really shouldn’t have cut that spindle if you were planning to rebuild because there’s not a modern equivalent, and you can’t upgrade that BB shell.
As for removal, you pull the C clip and hammer the spindle to knock out one side. From there, you can put the spindle back in and pound out the remaining bearing. They should be standard 6003 bearings.
Your only option to replace is to find a used spindle. Since you chopped it, you might be guessing on lengths.

I have never worked on one of those myself, but maybe [something like this?](https://youtu.be/o_htH6ce-NA?si=Xi9sySQ27uCswvi1)
