drum off
rear oil seal off (hopefully you have new oens to repalce these with)
races out (thats the bits with the rollers in)
get a long drift (ie bar of steel or similar)
look down the hoel and you will see edges where you can hammer the other section of the ebaring out, make sure you do it evenly.

clean up drums etc

place new part of bearing in, gently tap it hoem, while keeping it level, use the old bit if nessecary.

regrease the rollers (more grease tha you get in the pack lol, and do it with them in your hands so you get grease welol into the bearing.

refit is reverse of removal

and how come you cant understand the haynes manual?
