How can I get my bearings out of the hub?

[11 footer]

I pulled the hub off the axel and one of the bearings came right out. How do it get the one in the back of the hub out?

You have to take out the rear seal which will damage it. Make sure you have a new seal to replace it with (same size).

garycinn is right about the seal.there is alittle trick that alot of people do to get the back seal out fast. once your front bearing is out put the nut back on the axle and pull the hub off fast. the nut will catch the rear bearing and pop the bearing and seal right out you might have to pull the hub a time or too but it will come out. u will need a new seal no matter what most auto parts stores will have it in stock just clean the old seal up and bring it with you.

Be certain to get double lip seals. They keep the water out as well as the grease in.

I drive it out with a piece of wood dowel & a hammer.
