You don't even have to take the wheel off... Just remove the clip from the outside of the dust cover (if it's still there), and it pulls through from the inside. It's probably hideously stuck with manky grease, though, so giving the back a good clean-up would help. Removing the dust cover helped on ours - and it was a damn good excuse to clean it all up in there and shove some shiny new grease in, too.
