Wheel Bearing

How does one change a front wheel bearing on an 2WD F-250? Is it like changing the bearings on a rear drive car where the bearings come out seperate and you have races to press in and out? Can I get away with just replacing the bearing or do I need to replace the race as well?

Thanks Much,
Al Conforti

I just did this about a month ago on my 84 F-250 When I replaced the brake calipers and rubber hose. If the races don't have a grove or other damage it should be ok to reuse. To replace the bearings, remove the tires. Remove the brake calipers. Pry off the dust cover. Remove the cotter pin and nut holder. Remove the nut and pull off the caliper.

Not really a huge job.
