make sure you buy a kit from ford its got what you need 2 wheel bearings a big one and small one,oil seal and split pin.the only thing whats hard is getting the old ones off you might need a bearing puller offer tool you wont know till you try to get them off

their are two bearings inner and outer . they just bang out with a hammer and chisel . from the middle , out . in the centre of the drum is a locating ring where the races sit . clean the grease out and you will see the edge of the race you need to hit

Dead easy

Just be careful when drifting out the old races..use something like a brass or copper rod to avoid damaging the seats. Also, make sure the seats are nice and clean before installing the new ones, drift the races in using something that won't mark the faces if you slip (or a proper drift kit...I use a Facom one and it is excellent)

Use pleny of the correct grease and tighten them up as the book says...takes about 1-2 hours per side.
