Unfortunatly they were correct. First you have to remove the axles then loosen up the lug nuts, Jack up the truck remove the wheels, take the retaining nut off the axle stub then remove the brake drum with the hub. Sometimes you have to back the automatic adjuster off to remove the hub and drum. I suggest you do one side at a time. This way you will have one side of the truck up at a tilt so your diff. fuild won't leak out. Also don't do like a friend of mine and have the truck all jacked up and one axle removed then go to the other side and start to remove the axle and find out you have parked to close to the garage wall to get the axle out. Then he had to cut a hole in the wall to get it all the way out.
