Answer It's pretty easy, at least the rear bearings. You lift the car. Take the wheel off. Then take the drum off. This will be a pain. I found that if it's stuck put some penetrating lube where the drum meets the bearing assembly in the middle, engage the parking brake, then take a rod(like a tire iron) and put it between the lug bolts. You can actually get the hub/bearing to rock back and forth separate from the drum. There's a little bit of play around the lug bolts. That and banging it with a mallet should get it off. You remove the bearing/hub assembly mounting bolts through the holes in the hub plate. I guess some years have nuts on the back, mine didn't. Then you should be able to pull the hub/bearing assembly out. I'm still working on that as mine's stuck in. From Cowbot: I am at this moment performing this operation.... the drums came off easy but a rubber mallet or a hammer tapping around the outside of the drum can help get th drum off. I have it off but still don't see how to get at the bearing.

Use a slide hammer and a puller attached to the studs - similar to a harmonic balancer puller.

The bearing is pressed onto (and off) the axle shaft .

Insert the axle shaft ensuring the splines engage at the differential, and tap the rest of the way in

with a soft faced hammer.
