ok, im attempting to get to my rear passenger side wheel bearings, cause they are shot.

i take the rear 3 bolt axle off the hub and get the hub out.

no problem there. probably going to take it to a shop and have that bearing removed, and the new one pressed in.

removed the oil seal.

now, the inner wheel bearing seems to be stuck in the trailing arm (i think thats what its called). my question is how do i remove it?

you can see it there. i dont really know how to get that out, or how to get a new one in there. if you guys have any suggestions for that, let me know i know thats what the source of my problems are.

finally, these are the bearings i have. part numbers 511014 and 511015 for the bearings. oil seal in the middle.

Take it to the same shop that's going to press the other bearing. If you don't have special bearing removal tools and a press it can be a royal PIA! It's worth the couple of bucks to have them removed and then get the new ones pressed properly.
