Should be two screws on the rear cluster side of the wheel. That will take the pad/face off. Then you have a big nut to take loose, and then you will need a puller to pull the wheel off. They sell them in the parts stores, or you can measure the distance between the holes and see if a harmonic balancer puller will work. There are two threaded holes in the wheel that you thread long bolts into to pull it off. I think I have used my harmonic balancer puller to do this, but I had to go get two bolts to fit the holes.

I just use a small gear puller with the legs under the heads of bolts that screw into those holes. But, on the 81 the shaft didn't have a center "dent" for the puller's bolt to center in, so I drilled a shallow hole there so it wouldn't walk and so it wouldn't mushroom the shaft any. And, by the way, they are 5/16-24 bolts.
