The outer bearing is straight forward after you pull the yoke off. But to get the inner bearing you have to remove the axle shafts and carrier.

I just replaced u joints front and back, driveshafts are not bent, hub assemblies are good alignment is spot on and tires are balanced lol i went over it all on other posts but the posts are going nowhere. Thanks for the advice though
