[QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1213260, member: 73139"] They are usually a loose fit on the spindle, no tools are necessary to remove it. Make sure you don't get Chinese bearings this time, they are absolute junk. When you do buy new bearings, you're going to get races with them. The outer races are press fit inside of the hub. You will have to drive those out, a steel drift is the best tool. If you're extremely careful, you can drive them back in with the same steel drift. A brass drift would be preferable for installation. To pack the bearings with grease, put a wad of it in your palm and squeeze, take the wide side of the bearing, and scoop/pack the grease all of the way through the bearing. Once you see it emerging on the other side of the rollers, wipe a little on the outside of the bearing, a little on the race in the hub, and wipe some on the spindle and on the inside of the hub (to prevent corrosion). Contrary to popular belief, more grease isn't better. You don't wan't to pack the hub solid with grease. Just push it through the bearing and then coat everything else. [/QUOTE]
