I assume that you mean the rear wheel and yes it can be done without removing
the hub. You will have to remove the brake shoes and hardware, at least I

Firmly seat it by stacking it with washers and tighten the wheel nut to pull
it forward
or you will tend to knock it loose when re-fitting the wheel.
