You have to disassemble the front axle, by jacking up and supporting with safety stands or heavy wood blocks.
Remove tire and wheel,pull the front axle drive flanges,which could be stuck.
There are two threaded holes in the flanges to screw bolts in to push off the flanges.
Remove the bearing lock nut,lock ring inner nut,bearings,hub&drum.
Remove the Axle spindle bolts and remove the spindle from the knuckle.
Then pull the front axle shaft out as an assembly.
Make sure you put a nut back on the top stud to hold the differential in place before removing axle.
And you better find a service manual Too!
