nononononononono
jack it up
remove the wheel
remove the drum
remove the shoes (all in one go once the little pin things are out you can just slide the whole lot over the top of the hub)
turn the hub so that you can get the holes lined up with the bolts
put a short 13mm 1/2 socket over the bolt you want to undo
stick and extension bar through the hole
undo the bolt (it migth be a tad tight)
turn the hub, repeat the proccess for the other 3 bolts
grab hold of the hub flange itself (the one with the holes in it and the studs for the wheel nuts poking out of it) and YANK!!!!
the whole hub carrier assembly should now be free
get underneath the car and YANK! the driveshaft itself
this should release the bit that goes into the diff without putting extra strain on the cv on the hub side of things
the whole shaft can now be with drawn through the wishbone
