Carefully remove the axle and pull out the wheel.

Use a screwdriver to pry out the dust seal from the bearing housing.

5. Use a Drift or Punch 

Insert a drift or punch into the gap between the bearing and the wheel hub.

Rotate the bearing as you tap to prevent damage to the hub.

6. Use a Socket Extension
