removing is easy, putting back right far harder.

see end hub #4
pull that with slide hammer, after removing screws #6
remove 7,8,9 and then using special tool pull ring 11.

YOU HAVE 2 BEARINGS INNER AND OUTER BEARING IN HUB.YOU NEED TO REMOVE BRAKE CALIPER THEN REMOVE GREASE CAP.STRAIGHTEN THE BEND COTTER PIN THEN REMOVE COTTER PIN.THEN LOOSEN REMOVE ADJUSTING NUT AND WASHER FROM END OF THE SPINDLE.PULL THE HUB OUT SLIGHTLY THEN PUSH IT BACK INTO ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS WILL FORCE THE OUTER WHEEL BEARING OFF THE SPINDLE ENOUGH SO YOU CAN REMOVE IT.PULL THE HUB OFF THE SPINDLE.USE A SCREW DRIVER TO PRY THE GREASE SEAL OUT OF THE REAR OF THE. HUB AS THIS IS DONE NOTE HOW THE SEAL IS INSTALLED.THEN REMOVE THE INNER WHEEL BEARING FROM THE HUB.

remove the tire
Remove the caliper- two bolts in back, could be torx or allen
remove the bracket that holds the caliper- two bolts in back
remove the rotor, with hammer if nessissary
remove the big nut holding the shaft in the middle of bearing
there are three or four bolts that are in back that hold the bearing on the spindle remove these
use a screw driver and chisel to pry the bearing out of the spindle, you will have too beat on them so use an old screw driver. If the new bearing comes with the hub, then you can beat on the hub and knock it out. be careful because your limited on space and it is easy to hit something that you don't want to hit. If the new bearing doesn't come with the hub, you will have to have it pressed out and in. about twenty bucks at a garage.
Good luck

Automatic Locking Hubs REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The following procedure covers removal & installation only, for the hub assembly. The hub should be disassembled ONLY if overhaul is necessary. In that event, an overhaul kit will be required. Follow the instructions in the overhaul kit to rebuild the hub.

1. Remove the capscrews and washer from the hub cap. Fig. 1: Exploded view of the automatic locking hubs
   
   
2. Remove the hub cap and spring.
3. Remove the bearing race, bearing and retainer.
4. Remove the keeper from the outer clutch housing.
5. Remove the large snapring to release the locking unit. The snapring is removed by squeezing the ears of the snapring with needle-nose pliers.
6. Remove the locking unit from the hub. You can make this job easier by threading 2 hub cap screws into the outer clutch housing and hold these to pull out the unit. To install:
   
7. Wipe clean all parts and check for wear or damage.
8. Coat all parts with the same wheel bearing grease you've used on the bearings.
9. Position the locking unit in the hub and install the large snapring. Pull outward on the unit to make sure the snapring is fully seated in its groove.
10. Install the keepers.
11. Install the bearing retainer, bearing and race. Make sure that the bearing is fully pack with grease.
12. Coat the hub cap O-ring with wheel bearing grease and install the hub cap.
13. Install the capscrews and washers. Tighten the screws to 45 inch lbs. (5 Nm).

Manual Locking Hubs The engagement and disengagement of the hubs is a manual operation which must be performed at each hub assembly. The hubs should be placed FULLY in either Lock or Free position or damage will result. WARNING
Do not place the transfer case in either 4-wheel mode unless the hubs are in the Lock position! Locking hubs should be run in the Lock position periodically for a few miles to assure proper differential lubrication.

Yes, Undo the 32mm nut, first. And, don't get the bearings dirty with dust from the brake drums, or , if you do, replace the inner and outer bearings with new greased up ones. REAR DRUM BRAKES Brake Drums REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
Brake linings contain asbestos. Asbestos is a known cancer-causing agent. When working on brakes, remember that the dust which accumulates on the brake parts and/or in the drum contains asbestos. Always wear a protective face covering, such as a painter's mask, when working on the brakes. NEVER blow the dust from the brakes or drum.

1. Raise the vehicle and support safely.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. On vehicles without rear bearing hub, remove the dust cap, cotter pin, nut lock, wheel bearing nut and washer from the spindle. Remove the outer wheel bearing. Remove the drum with the inner wheel bearing from the spindle. If the drum is difficult to remove, remove the plug from the rear of the backing plate and push the self adjuster lever away from the star wheel. Rotate the star wheel to retract the shoes. Remove the grease seal.
4. If equipped with a rear bearing hub, remove the drum by removing the retainer screws from the drum and pulling the drum from the hub assembly. If the drum is difficult to remove, remove the plug from the rear of the backing plate and push the self adjuster lever away from the star wheel. Rotate the star wheel to retract the shoes. To install:
   
5. On vehicles equipped without rear bearing hub, lubricate and install the inner wheel bearing. Install a new grease seal. Install the drum to the spindle. Lubricate and install the outer wheel bearing, washer and nut. Adjust the bearing preload following the procedure outlined in the "Rear Wheel Bearing'' of this section. When the bearing preload is properly set, install the nut lock and a new cotter pin. Install the grease cap.
6. On vehicles with rear bearing hub, install the brake drum to the hub assembly and install the retaining screws.
7. Install the wheel and tire assembly. Adjust the rear brakes as required.
8. Apply the brakes until a firm pedal is obtained, prior to moving the vehicle.

okay i assume the rotor is off,remove the bolts out the back, take a hammer and beat the front of the hub the top then bottom then the sides to free,hit so that hub pull out,you will be hitting the back side the hub where the wheel would sit,if that doesnt work then use a chisel to break free, stick it where the hub meet spindle,ITs just frozen beat it.

Start by removing the center axle nut. (torqued very tight about 175ft lbs...you need a solid breaker bar with about a five foot pipe added for leverage, or 3/4 impact gun. then remove wheel and caliper and rotor. Remove the hub bearing by taking out the three 12pt bolts on the opposite side of the steering knuckle. Once those bolts are loose use wd40 on the hub parting line and hammer on the bolt heads to push the bearing out.Loosen the bolts each time they need to be backed off till the hub is loose. The axle comes out right through the hole where the bearing was. Make sure you grease the joints well because you cant once it's back together.

hi take wheel off let hand breake off if theres an adjuster on back loosen it (not sure if it has 1) remove centre cap undo nut remove bearing remove hub might be screw in hub job done

You'll need to take the wheel bearings off. the rotors are bolted to the hub and the bolts are located in the back of the hub thus having to remove the wheel bearings and removed the hub/rotor assy.

1. Remove the steering knuckle assembly from the vehicle, as described earlier in this section.
2. For 1991 vehicles, remove the 3 dust shield fasteners and separate the shield from the assembly.
3. If equipped, remove the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensor from the knuckle.
4. Assemble wheel bearing removing tool SA9159S or equivalent using the hub driver, hub driver screw, bridge retainer and bridge. Install the tool to the knuckle and secure the assembly in a vise using the bridge as the vise contact point.
5. Hold the hub driver with a wrench and tighten the hub driver screw to remove the hub. If the inner bearing race is pulled out with the hub, remove the race with a bearing race remover. The service tool can be used by assembling the inner race puller, 2 bridge retainer plates, 2 bolts and 2 flat washers.
6. Inspect the hub at the bearing location for pitting, scoring or wear, and replace if necessary.
7. Remove the assembly from the vise and remove the wheel hub removal tools.
8. Remove the bearing retainer snapring.
9. Position the knuckle in a shop press on the knuckle support tube, and press the bearing from the knuckle with a small driver.
10. Inspect the knuckle bore for pitting, scoring, wear or corrosion. If damage cannot be easily cleaned with light sanding, the knuckle must be replaced.
