It can be done but you need hole drilled and tapped to get drum off. Just do the way the TM says. Will save you time and do fresh lube to the bearings.
The one in the picture is a USAF truck. I saw a couple one time on a staff astcent trip but I can't remember where, or what they said they were used for.
