Notes:

Remove the rear suspension knuckle to replace the rear wheel hub bearing, brake shield, to replace the knuckle assembly with bearing and silent blocks.
The work is shown on the knuckle of the rear right wheel, but it is the same for both sides of the rear suspension.

1. Disconnect a wire from the minus plug of the storage battery.

5.  Release the parking brake lever. To bring the brake pads together and free the drum, it is necessary to place a flat screwdriver in the hole designed for the wheel fixing bolt. Next, by touch, you need to find the ratchet nut of the mechanism for automatically adjusting the gap between the shoes and the drum, thereby reducing the length of the spacer bar (the second photo shows the placement of the ratchet nut).

Note:

If it is difficult to remove the drum, you can remove it from the seat belt of the hub by tapping on the edge with a hammer through a wooden spacer.
Do not depress the brake pedal after removing the brake drum, as the pistons may completely come out of the wheel cylinder.

8.  Using a pneumatic wrench, unscrew the rear wheel hub nut by 1-2 turns.

Note:

The tightening torque of the hub nut is significant, so it is recommended to use a wrench. But in the absence of a pneumatic wrench, it is necessary to unscrew the hub fastening nut by a turn even before removing the brake drum, asking an assistant to press the brake pedal.

9. Still reduce the length in the spacer of the rear brake pads.
