I understand what you are saying, but I am not that far along yet. I have the drum off, and removed the shoes and wheel cylinders. I suspect that I will need to remove the end cap (it's bolted on) and then do I need to pull the axle, or will the hub come off without removing the axle?
You wouldn't happen to know of a drawing, or picture online that I could look at for a better understanding of this. So far, I have never tore into a rear axle larger than a 1/2 ton.

Thanks

John
