Yeah you pull the outer bearing.Then put the nut back on the spindle.and angle the drum or rotor as you pull it over the nut.The inner bearing and seal will pop out and stay on the spindle.If they were making noise you probally need bearings and races.The races have to be pounded out.They are a light press fit.Rocky

the hub will have 2 notches on the inside of the hub that a drift pin will be able to catch the race and be drivin out I use a greese needle to greese mine when I have it off but not going to replace them. I do new ones the same way and drop them in and drive the seal in,the out side bearing I stick in there and greese with the needle and turn it,then the washer and nut goes on and torque it down while spinning it you can use a sandwich bag to put the greese in instead of ya hand and do the same thing...just not as messy,and ya can get it in there real good have fun and get plenty of rags and gojo

Wipe major grease off with towels and clean up with degreaser or Carb/Brake cleaner.
I use gas but it is stupid and dangerous to do it that way. But I never said I was too bright.
You do mean any that gets on the bearing/axle cap don't you? Never too much grease inside the hub or smeared on the bearing surface.. Make sure to put a light layer of grease on the seal surface too.

I meant cleaning the stuff for fresh grease. I shoulda been clearer. My Bad. Like he said everything goes back in coated with grease and a large amount smeared into the hub cavity. I never filled the cavity for fear the pressure from the spinning grease would cause the seal to leak but I make sure they is plenty of grease to flow into both of the bearings as the wheel spins.

I thought you knew what you meant but may have been confusing to someone new at it.
