Rear wheel bearing removal

I want to strip down and renew the bearings on the rear wheel of my 1956 ES2. Whilst I have most of the available manuals can't find anything that covers rear hubs. Any help please?

If I remember its fairly straightforward. Undo the threaded `nut` which is screwed into the hub, it has 4 indentations at 90 degrees for a special spanner, if you havn`t the tool it should be possble to tap the nut round using a roundnose punch. Then knock out the bearings using a suitable drift from each side,
