Hey Bob: I only know of one way, that is to remove the two bolts that hold the brake together, (1/2 inch wrench) and remove the inside brake lining as well as the brake assembly. This allows the wheel to come off the axle (after you take the cotter pin and nut off of course). Then deflate the tire and remove the three bolts that hold the wheel halves together along with the Cleveland brake disk. You may need to have a means of breaking the bead loose of the tire from each half of the wheel, and you may not.
    Clean the wheel halves real good before reassembly. Now is a good time to clean and grease the wheel bearings! You should check the pins that the brake rides on and probably clean them inside and out. A little dry lubricant often helps the brakes function, after cleaning of course. Also take a close look at the flexible line that the brake fluid gets to the brake through. If it has been several years and the line has gotten hard, now is a good time to consider replacing it.  Reverse the process to put it all back together with a new tire.
