2004 ranger rear wheel bearings

[rockdancer]

Hello Forum! Im haveing trouble with the R R wheel on my truck.After doing a complete brake job including wheel cylinders I noticed the right wheel getting really hot after driving 20 miles.Pulled the drum,looked at everything......nothing out of place. next day the same thing.I think the bearing is going bad .I recently did both front wheel bearings,at 120k miles. My question is, how the heck do they come out of there? I see 4 bolts that seem to just hold the backing plate on. Whats the trick? I love my '64 F 350.........something about these throw away chinese bearings has me Thanks ,Randy

Remove rear cover. Remove locking screw. Remove pin from spider gears. Remove "u" clip from axle. Remove axle. Use end of axle to remove outer seal. Use slide hammer and attachment to pull bearing from axle.
