Bearing retainer removal to press out rear hub? (Pics)

GunarunMember

I’m doing the rear brake rotors and a couple studs on my new to me ‘73. I’ve removed the hub assembly and axle flange. The manual says to remove the bearing retainer and shield then press out the hub. Is that correct? I don’t see how you can get to the retainer bolts with the rotor still on. (I have Wilwoods)

Can I press it out without removing the bearing retainer? It seems like the retainer would hold the bearing and the axle hub would press through the inner race.

Here is my press fixturing. It did move about 1/4”. Not crazy about pressing against the brake rotor but I guess thats the way.
