Default Rear hub connection with trailing arm bearing replacement

, Anyone who knows the procedure for replacing the bearings for the rear hub connection with trailing arm, the "hub carrier"? Are they to be pressed out?

Slide out the central shaft.
You can use a screwdriver to pop the bearings and seals from each end. The inner races can be driven out or pulled out.

I think at most you would just need to clean and regrease them.

Ok, thanks. Yes the axle slid out easily. Will try to get the bearings and seals out gently using a flat scew driver. I bought all bearings, joints and bushings for the entire rear end. Likes to know that everything is up to standards. And on top of that, shipping is expensive, bearings and bushings are cheap. Better buy everything you might need in one single shipment. Thats my philosophy

A caution in JEPC about noting the position of the shims on the pin sleeve:




And the technique for drifting the bearing out:
