How to replace semi-floating tapered bearing type rear Wheel Bearing and Wheel Seal on Ford Bronco?

To remove the axleshaft, first take it out of the vehicle. If the wheel bearing needs replacement, the bearing cup, which typically stays in the axle housing when the axleshaft is removed, must also be replaced using a slide hammer-type puller. Before replacing the wheel bearing or seal, the inner retainer ring must be removed without using heat, as it could damage the axleshaft. Drill a hole of 1/4 to 1/2-inch diameter in the outer diameter of the inner retainer, approximately 3/4 of the thickness of the retainer ring, ensuring not to drill all the way through to avoid damaging the axleshaft. After drilling, use a chisel across the drilled hole and strike it sharply to split the retainer ring. Since a hydraulic press and various adapters are needed to remove the wheel bearing, it is advisable to take the axleshaft(s) to an automotive machine shop or parts store equipped for this task. For vehicles with tapered roller axle bearings, ensure the axleshaft retaining plate and seal are installed before pressing the new bearing and retainer ring onto the shaft. Once the new bearing is pressed onto the axleshaft, reinstall the axleshaft.
