Expert Reply:
The great thing about the Nev-R-Lube # 31-71-3 bearing is that the seals, bearings and races come in one piece so you don't have to worry about pulling them out of the hubs to re-pack bearings. It is recommended that you use a dowel to tap them into place when installing.
You'll need to remove the crown nut from the spindle and then pull the hub off. The old bearing can be tapped out with a dowel and then replaced with the new bearing using a wood block-something that won't damage the bearing. Once the bearing is set you can re-attach the hub and tighten down the crown nut on the spindle.
