There will be a wire clip around the outside perimiter of the of hub gear, and a C-clip around the drive axle, remove both of these and the hub gears will slide out. Then you need a special socket to remove the hub bearing retainer nuts, there are 2 nuts seperated by locking ring that prevents them from backing off. This socket is usually available to rent/borrow at auto parts stores.
