I have done several. Step one is press out the hub.
The inner bearing race is in two halves. One half
stays with the bearing, the other half stays with the hub.
This is part of the reason that removing the hub destroys
the bearing.
You should check out the Bentley that shows a press used to
press the hub out, then a puller to pull the inner race off
the hub.
In fact, if the inner race doesn't stay on the hub, the hub
needs replacing... the hub wobbling on the inner race will
destroy the new bearing in short order.
