You will have to remove that particular hub assembly
I may have spoken wrong on this one. That model has a one-piece chain case. There is a sprocket retaining bolt on the end of the axle that will need to be removed from inside the chain case. You basically build the axle assembly and slide it through that axle housing. Yes, you will have to remove the axle and it's a pain in the ass.

The front ones are pretty easy, still a hard job. The rear once are harder but still not bad.
You can use the hub and axle and a long prybar to get the inner axle bolt loose and off.
Bottle jack and big slash hammer are your best friend to get the axle including hub out.
