Wet Brake, Dry Brake (Left Brake, Right Brake...) - 64 Valiant

Thanks guys for the advice! So from what I am looking at online and in the manual there are no c-clips to these axles right? I just need to unbolt, rent a puller (or do the drum trick) and pull out the axle. The seal appears to be in a position that I don't need to pull the bearing (assuming it checks out ok), correct? Does the seal just pull off, I seat the new one and reinstall?

Ok just remove shoes and attaching springs, parking brake hardware, unbolt the 4 nuts holding the axle/backing plate on. Pull out the axle, dont need a puller, just pull out, might need some light persuasion, the bearing will be on the axle. Will need a seal puller, or improvise, but seal is in the housing. Pull out seal, then pound in a new with the proper seal installer. Harbor freight sells a inexpensive one. Reverse order to assemble..
