There is a TM however I don't have it handy. I just started taking stuff apart and learned that way. I did refer to the TM's for the proper torque on the bearing nut. But now I just use "Feel" to dial it in. It's a learning curve for sure but very much straightforward. Once you start digging in you'll figure it out;-). The most difficult part of the process was pulling the heavy hub off and putting it back on.

Easy job. Pull the axle flange bolts (middle of the wheel assembly). Axle flange comes off the splined axle shaft. Now support the axle on jack stands and pull the two octagon nuts securing the brake drum to the axle. You have to bend the lock tabs out of the way. With both nuts off, the wheel+brake drum will come off. Catch the outer roller bearing.

Pull the springs off the shoes, then loosen the banjo bolt and the two bolts securing the wheel cylinder.

Specifically, you can get all the answers from two TMs which are the ones I carry with me in the truck.

TM 9-2320-209-20-3-1 TM 9-2320-206-20-3-2

The information needed to pull the drum and hub is found on Page 311 of TM 9-2320-206-20-3-2

Brake service is at Page 63.

The newer manuals in the 361 series contain the same information and they are as complete. I have the two older manuals in print so those are the ones I tend to refer to.

You can get either set; the '209 series, or the '361 series at JATONKA's

You should have the 8 point 3" socket for adjusting the bearings and also plan on packing the wheel bearings while you have this apart. This is standard PM on the deuce.

Hope this helps
