Remove the 8 nuts or bolts holdind in the axleshaft. Remove the axleshaft. Clean any grease out of your way. There is 2 big jamnuts with a star-washer type ring between them. There is usually some tabs from this ring bent over the first jamnut. Bend them out of your way and remove the nut with a hammer/chisel if you don't have the special socket. Pull off the ring which has a keyway on it and then remove the second jamnut. Pull the drum off, you may pull it half off and then slide it back on. This usually exposes the outer bearing. You can wiggle the drum off with the bearing inside it. The inner bearing is also in the back of the drum. The inner jamnut gets finger tightened and then backed off 1/6th of a turn. The second nut gets torqued to about 50 foot pounds or as tight as you can get it with the hammer and chisel. Any problems, just hollar on the forum.
