Have you taken the axle out yet? If not take the tires off, hubs, and axle lock nut. The locknut is left hand thread remember. Pull off the brake rotor. There's a clamp on the other side of the rotor, I forget the name of it. Take that off and then take off the brake calaper mounting plate. Make sure you take the chain off too. Loosen the two allen bolts on the back of the axle carrier. If you cant pull the axle out (chances are you're not going to be able to) gently tap the right end with a rubber mallet, making sure not to mess up your hub threads. After that's out pound out the bearing housing with the same rubber mallet. What I did is since your bearings are shot remove the outer dust seals and then take a punch and wedge it in between the bearing and the carrier tube and hit the punch with the rubber mallet. Do this EVENLY around the bearing or else you will crack the bearing housing and you'll be out about $150! After you get them out put some water proof grease in the carrier and put the new bearings back in. I'd also advise getting new dust seals too.
