The rear hub bearings are only available as a hub assembly. Start by removing the tire and wheel, and the brake drum. Then remove the cap from the hub, You will see a large nut inside the cover. Remove this nut, and the hub assembly will slide off. Reverse the procedure to install the replacement part. Torque the nut to 190 to 220 ft-lbs (important!). Put the cap. drum, and tire/wheel back on, and the job is done!
