The procedure is the same for both DRW and SRW trucks. Smack the hub in, pull the snap ring, slide the hub off.

I can pull mine because they slide easy, just by grabbing the ****. If yours don't, you'll have to pull the wheel and spacer.

If the manual hubs are aftermarket manuals (ie Warn) then they don't fit properly. I have to pull the wheel and spacer off to get the hubs out. No, I haven't ground mine down yet, and probably won't.

You'll probably have to do that for the OEM hubs too. It's a very tight fit and just plain easier with some extra room.
