Subject:Rear wheel bearings

I know it's in BTDT, I'm looking at the Bentley, and have Bell's excellent
writeup to go by. But rear wheel bearings are still the last charted
Vanagon territory for me. But, I'm about to have to do it.

So, the deal is, you mightily chock the wheels, cheat the nut off, and then
you can pull the hub off? Then the brakes and backing plates come off, and
then what?

Is Bell showing that you don't have to pull the stub axle out until it's on
the bench. As usual, I could figure this out eventually, but I like to know
in advance.

Thanks,

Jim
