I changed the front. They were no problem as I could knock out the old bearings.

The rear has no separation so I am thinking I need something like a bearing puller? Correct?

Thanks

Normally, I use a brass punch and tap the opposite bearing out away from the inner liner/spacer of the wheel. Then rotate the punch around the bearing to fully remove the old bearing.

Got the bearing out but it is not like my manual shows.

My manual shows the circlip and one bearing on each side.

I do not have a circlip (and there is no room for one).
Also one side has 2 bearing back to back. I have 3 bearings total.

skos, 3 bearings? Describe it for us. (Typical roller bearings??? Are they sealed??)
Keep the old "race" to seat the new race, after you complete the removal (^per Drag.) And yes, remove the old race; don't mate new rollers with an old race. Make sure any seals are installed in the proper direction.

skos; it's been nearly a month. (More like 3, but....) Did you get the bearings repaired?
(The meter is running on this technical intervention. Did we mention we have a daily service charge on this site for unanswered tech posts? We know where you live....)
