It is probably as simply as removing your brake caliper and then removing the hub retainer nut. If you do not see the nut it is probably because there is a "grease cap" and the nut is behind it. Ford likes to make maintenance free parts so they never have to be greased. I have a 1995 cougar and my wheel bearings went bad. I had to buy a whole new hub assembly. It was as simple as removing the retainer nut and installing the new assembly. The rear bearings are replaced with the hub as described above, the front bearings have to be pressed out. Remove the brake caliper and disk. Disconnect the tie rod end, lower ball joint and strut assembly from the spindle bracket. Remove spindle bracket and take to machine shop to have bearing pressed out and new bearing pressed in. Reassemble all parts.

A 91 Ford Escort may have the bearings going out in the right rear wheel it is causing the rear end to vibrate WO removing the tire any other telltale signs and can the tire come off if bearings bad?
A bad wheel bearing is always noisy. As you drive the car, steer it like you are changing lanes( to shift the load on the bearing) and listen for a change of pitch in the noise. If it is bad it will change pitch. Wheel bearings have to be REAL bad to cause vibration; are you sure you don't have a bent rim/ bad tire?
