you betcha, the best way ive figured out how to that little key out is with a magnet. I'm assuming you have auto hubs on there. you may have to wiggle the retaining nut(the big 2 3/8 nut) so it lines up perfect with the little slot it slides out in, but a magnet is what i used. It's can be a real P.I.T.A but you do it.

A magnet is your best friend when working on the auto hub locknuts.

i bent up a paperclip and made it slide the key out along with using a mini pocket screwdriver as well

Having to deal with those daily I use a small pick. Like a dental pick. quicker than anything. Remember to repack those wheel bearings and propper torque when reassembling.
