I guess from pictures you could access this from the inner side as the bearing side cover is large enough to slip over the retainer for room to work.
Thank you every body again!

Timely thread. While discovering I had bad u-joints and driveshaft I noticed dust clinging to one inner drum brake. Pulled it this morning and found oil in the ABS sensor area and sadly; the brake shoes are contaminated with diff fluid.
I know I'll get this 01 in top condition one day but it has been the worst money pit I've ever owned out of the 40-50 vehicles I've owned.
One good thing is I already have the HF press because I thought I had a bad front bearing but it turned out the be a shoddy pad replacement with parts floating where they shouldn't.
I ordered the tool to pull the rear bearing. I think at this point I'll go ahead and replace both axle seals, repack the bearing on the side that's leaking diff fluid, and replace all 4 brake shoes. I think the drums are still good once cleaned up. Since I replaced the rotors and pads up front recently I'll have a nice new brake job to go with the rest of the nice new driveline/engine parts.
