It walks through pulling the tie rod, disassembling the hub, removing bearings and snap rings with improvised tools, extracting the old seal, and reassembling it. Footage is rough with gaps, but useful for owners attempting this exact repair themselves.
Posted by an owner-operator in Alaska doing his own repair out of necessity, not a mechanic or professional videographer, so expect trial-and-error learning rather than polished instruction.
The owner pounded on it repeatedly without success, then borrowed a friend's pickle fork tool, which finally removed it.
With gaps around the bearing, the owner used bent pieces of wire on each side to lift the bearing straight up out of its seat.
The owner assumed the housing would slide off after removing the spindle, but it did not, so the whole hub had to come off by removing the large bolts.
After chiseling out the old seal, the owner tapped the new one in level using a two-by-six and added oil around the outside edge to help it slip into place.
