Off with the wheels-then the hubs-then chain-next sprocket-then the brake hub-next the 2-piece retainer under the hub-slide the axle out-pull carrier out-now two of my ways to get the bearings out. 1 cut them out with a dremel or heat them up and knock them out. To install freeze the new bearings in freezer overnight and reverse the procedure.

Place the carrier in a vise, heat the side facing down with a torch, opposite the bearings, and they will fall out. No more cutting, cussing, etc. etc.
Then flip it over, and do the other side. This is also a great time to drop in the new bearings on the side you just heated.
