Hey yall. I am not sure how to exactly replace the inner wheel bearing. Please advise based on the images below:

The outer bearing looks straight forward; however, the inner looks like it has to be pressed in...

Should just need to drive out the inner grease seal to get it out. Then clean, repack and replace with new seal.

Slide the hub back onto the spindle. Loosely install the nut only and then slide the hub towards you until you feel it stop on the nut. Give a "TUG" and that should pop the seal out along with the bearing.

Replace the grease seal to, you dont want it to leak and let water in like what happened to me... They looked fine :(
