easy......remove outer lockout (small allen bolts) remove axle retaining clip and clip on the inside of the hub, its there in a small groove (sometimes can be a pain) remove inner hub assembly, remove spindle nut #1, remove washer between spindle nuts, remove last spindle nut.....then everything is free, take off the hub/rotor assy. remove bearings and inner seal....

clean everything up, put a A$$load of grease in the hub/rotor assy. pack bearings, install inner bearing, inner seal, clean and grease spindle, put hub/rotor assy. back on spindle, put outer bearing in and put everything back on....make sure you tighten your spindle nuts to spec....
