Remove small hub cap on axle drive flange, remove the small snap ring on the outer axle shaft, unbolt and remove drive flange. Or if you have locking hubs, remove the bolts that mount the outer hub body, remove the outer hub body remove the small outer axle snap ring you will be able to remove the inner hub body. At this time you will be at the wheel bearings. There is an outer locking nut, lock washer, inner nut and inner washer. Unbend the locking tabs that hold the outer nut, remove the outer nut, and then the lock washer, remove the inner nut and washer. You can now remove the hub and brake drum. Get a spindle nut socket that fits your truck don't use a hammer and a punch, make sure that you torque the outer nut and bend the locking tab over the outer nut. Bill
