Default Rear brake question

If I need to replace literally everything on rear brake area plates and springs an all is there a way I can pull the entire assembly w or without hub out after disconnecting the lines an unbolting the main bolts holding it in ?.
I am pulling one off a dead truck an looking for a quick way to just get it off since I need many of the parts .
It's a 02 Dakota .
Thanks
Thanks

I don't think thats possible for one the parking brake cable connection unless you use bolt cutters for the cable.

Not to mention the little problem of an Axel in the way.

If you're pulling the whole backing place, have to open the diff, remove the C-clips, pull the axle, pull the parking brake cable.
