G19E Rear axle noise/bearing removal

[fyr259]

I am trying to remove the bearing from the drivers side rear axle, i have the hub off and i"m looking at the bearing, not quite sure how to remove it, the dust protector came off the bearing and i can see the bearing, they look worn, not sure if i can pull the axle, from looking at a parts list it looks like there is a circlip behind the bearing, i don"t want to cause additional damage. My unit is a 99 G19E. thanks

After the hub is removed, there is a outer bearing cirlip, remove it, reinstall the hub backwards and use a hammer to tap the axle and bearing out.
