A lot depend on where the street is!

Yes, you can easily do it on the right street.

Remove the wheel, swing the caliper aside, remove the rotor, remove the e-brake shoes (they're not awful), remove the bolts that hold the bearing retainer on (and the backing plate). You'll see a large hole in the axle flange between two studs -- that's so you can stick your socket through to reach the bolt heads.

The you remove the axle.

The bearing cup is pressed into the axle housing, and you must use a puller to remove it -- though often it's loose enough to slide out with your fingers.

Make a sketch of how the e-brake shoes fit together and engage with the stupid lever, etc. Maybe even some pictures (Polaroid or digital).
