Full float hub removal

I got a '93 F-250 with the full float rear end. What kind of tools do I need to get the hubs off. I'm in the process of changing brake shoes. My main problem is getting the nuts of. I tried a hammer and chisel , which I used on the front hubs, but the nut will only turn a little bit then stop. Their must be some kind of lock but it looks like nothing is holding it. Any idea's?

I take this is a F250 HD with a FORD rear end, if so.

Install Hub Wrench T85T-4252-AH so that the drive tangs of the tool engage the four slots in the hub nut.

CAUTION:
The hub nuts are right-hand thread (right hub) and left-hand thread (left hub). Each hub nut is stamped RH for the right hub nut or LH for the left hub nut.
Remove hub nut (counterclockwise for right-hand thread; clockwise for left-hand thread).

CAUTION:
Under no circumstances are power impact tools to be used when performing these operations.

NOTE:
The hub nut will ratchet during this operation.
Install Step Plate Adapter Tool D80L-630-7.
Install Puller Tool D80L-1002-L or equivalent and loosen hub to the point of removal. Remove puller tool and step plate.
Remove hub assembly.

CAUTION:
Do not drop outer hub bearing.
