I think you can leave the hub attached to the
axle and take the bolts around the backing plate
loose. The hub / axle / bearings should pull out
as a unit (watch the shims). I believe the
backing plate is sandwiched between the bearing
retainer and the axle housing. With the hub /
axle out the backing plate will almost fall off -
then easily removed and swapped side to side.
Randall may have a better description. :)
