The disassembly of the front wheel begins at the cover of the front fork. You will find the corresponding screws at the connection of the two sides

and behind the two reflectors. 

Then remove the drum brake. To do this, loosen the drum brake adjustment screw. 

If you now loosen both nuts, you will have the front wheel in your hand.
