Here's a little maintenance manual help. A slidehammer makes it easier. I've used the wheel as one in the past

Iw,
the comment in copper's automatic signature is just a suggestion.
he's actually quite a nice guy but does have an eye problemo as you can see in his avitar. he's been known to pour antifreeze in the oil filler tube
blind as a bat?

really suggest a Clilton's or Haynes manual if you have not done a rear wheel bearing before.
covers the step by step
if you've done rwb's before it's just a standard one. there is no inner integral race on the rear wheel bearings. they use the axle shaft as a race which becomes worn and groove.
several aftermarket do make an offset bearing that rides on a different new location on the shaft. check the shaft for any wear groove or undersize diameter bearing load area.
if it's already had the offset bearings last time and the shaft is worn out in both places, time for junke yard dog
glad ur a DIYer
we preach safety on here, jack stands, tire blocks, flat ground
i've still got a piece of metal cutting from drilling years ago in eye ball that burned thru and they can't get out.
No MRI's for me. would suck the eyeball right out of the head and I'd look like copper
