Bearing replacement

[aka1004]

Rear wheel is off for tire change and one of my bearing is bad. Do I just rip that black seal off and knock the bearing out from other side?

Be sure to replace all the bearings (and seals/O-rings) when you do this, or you will be at it again soon.

That seal seems to in there pretty tight. I was wondering if I should just rip it out???

If you plan on replacing it just pop it out with a screwdriver. It will pop out when you knock the bearing out from the backside too.

When I replaced my bearings 2 Just popped out from behind BUT one had a Cirlclip or something holding it in and I just brought the wheel with bearings to the dealer and he charged like $30 to replace the Bearings I provided.

it looks like bearing has been bad for a long time, whole bearing spinning in the hub pretty much grinded a new groove inside the hub...there is huge gap between the bearing and hub, may be like 1/16"
this is my 6th rear tire and it looks like 4 dealers who did the work never checked the bearing. I asked at least 2 of them to check.
gonna need a new hub. hopefully dealer would have one in stock..
