What is the correct way to remove the inner front wheel bearing? The grease seal seems very tight in the hub. Is there a way of removal that I won't mess up the bearing? Thanks

A hit with a blunt tool works, drive in from the outer hub end. Wood dowel works well. Tap around the bearing a few places.... and the dust seal and bearing will fall out of the hub race.

I do as Dan does.Use the bearing as a pusher. Tap it out from the outside end of the hub with a drift of your choice. The seal will come with the bearing.
Little risk of damage to the seal that way.

Hope this helps.

I am assuming you have roller bearing?

I got them out with no problems by driving the bearing from the outboard side. Thanks for the replys.
