Okay pull the drums off,
Then pop off the axle nut cover in the middle of the drum/wheel bearing. I believe its a size 29 socket! Then you should be able to pull it right off after that, if not you might have to heat up the inner race then it should pull right off all depends on how worn it is.
When putting the new one on make sure that rear axle nut is to spec probably around 130lbs or something of such!

Service manuals are good investments. And I'm not even saying that to be a smartass, like "use the search button" or whathaveyou... For stuff like this, when you just need specs or procedures and such, it's a lot easier to be able to just flip through and look it up rather than post and wait for a response. Learned that with my old car.

its a sealed unit... wheel off, remove axle nut cover, remove axle nut, pull off hub (or use hub puller rented from auto store) and replace.
