Ok i got new rear wheel bearings but how do i remove the old ones from the hub. I tried many things and that shit is like impossible. Any advice will help on how to separate the two.

The hub has to be pressed out using a hydraulic press or a hubtamer. If you don't have access to either one then your best bet is take it to a machine shop and have them do it for you.

Yeah I was thinking about taking it to a machine shop to because this thing is giving me a headache.....

Let us know how it goes.... Some people say it will destroy the hub if you try seperating them... other people say it works. I've never seen anyone successfully replace the rear wheel bearings and have them last.

Have you considered just upgrading you're hubs with bearings preinstalled? now would be an ideal time for a 5 lug convo if not already done...

rear bearings are replacleable but
in my experience it's a hit or miss thing
sometimes when you press the bearing out the race stays on the hub
you need a special tool, look it up on the fsm, to pull it out
