The Fairey FWH have one screw on the edge of the cap. You undo it (take it
out, but DON'T lose it) and then carefully pull out the nylon strip
underneath it. It looks like a nylon washer, but as you carefully prise it
out you'll find it's a long strip. This releases the hub cap (the bit you
turn to engage/disengage the hubs) - make sure you keep a hand over the cap
whilst you pull out the strip as it'll try to spring off. Once the cap is
clear you take the rest apart just like it says in the Haynes bumper book of
jokes.
To reassemble, put the drive flange back on and tighten the 6 bolts.
Tighten the castellated nut (10-15 lb/ft) and refit the locking roll pin.
Place the cap on and push it home. It's keyed with three pins in the cap
part with three corresponding splines in the drive flange bit "missing".
Then carefully feed the nylon strip back into its screw hole and feed it all
the way in. It sits in a groove in the cap and should feed its way all the
way round inside. Then screw the retaining screw (the one you didn't lose)
back in and that's all there is to it.
