2wd Front Bearings
I have replaced the Bearing Hubs and Rotors on my 2005 F150 2wd about two years ago. Earlier this year I had to replace the driver side because all the grease came out of the bearings (was all over the outside of the hub). Now a few months later it is starting to hum again, not sure if it is the same side or not. I still have the hub I took off, and want to replace the bearings in the hub, but I don't know how to get them out, and can't find anything on the web.
Does anyone know how to get these bearings out?
Thanks....

I have access to a large 20+ ton press at work, but want to make sure that they press out the back and there are no lock rings or snap rings that I am not seeing. Then when I think that they would press out the back, what keeps the hub from just sliding off the bearings? Really hate this design.

Thanks Lenore. Sorry you had to go through so many sets to find out. I'm guessing that you are not the only one. Just the only one to speak up. I replaced the OEM brakes with a PowerStop kit (rotors & pads). Drilled & slotted. Excellent stopping. I can't recall exactly how long I had them before failure. At least 5 years, and at least 50,000 miles. But those numbers mean nothing. Stop & go driving wears brakes more than freeway driving. Failure was also in the bearings. The rotor & pads were still great. My initial assessment was that my lift kit w/ larger wheels & tires must be adding stress to wear components like brakes, rotors, and the bearings inside. Now I'm beginning to think that the bearings are the weak point in stock applications also.
Anyone with suggestions on rotors which the bearings did not wear out?

By the way the bearings in the Hubs that I removed were extremely loose. Even the side that was not growling. Don't kill me but I purchased Nakamoto one piece hub and disk on Ebay. Time will tell, the one good thing is I noticed the bearing had a e-ring retainer holding the bearing, so maybe I can replace just the bearing if it fails. Man, the Chinese are just killing us with garbage parts.
