Dave, you didn't say what type of 40? But by you asking about the big nut I will presume it's not a "T" [if a "T" the brakes come apart differently].
~The final drives come apart like Wayne says. Once in there, replace the oil seal on each side as that's usually the reason the brakes don't work. Look for wear on the balls & ball slots in the actuating disks & make sure the springs are good. Those brakes are self applying & if working correctly need very little pressure to start the apply sequence. You will probably find oil in the brake housings, glazed linings & possibly worn balls & actuating disk slots. ~Probably the best thing to do is pull one side apart & see what it looks like in there then post back with specific questions based on what you find.
~If by chance your tractor is a "T" post back as the brakes are serviced differently on the "T"..... ....

This is not Clooney, but I have replaced those brakes before. You don't have to remove the big nut. The whole final drive has to be removed, by removing the 4 bolts at the transmission case. You will need to use a sling to pull it, with some sort of lifting device such as an engine hoist or maybe with a floor jack. During assembly you will have to align the final drive shaft back through the brake discs. Also it helps to knock out the freeze type plug on the housing, so you can reach in with a screwdriver to position the brake discs.
