Hello Officianados,
finally getting around to inspecting the bearings on this "shim Monster" 1992 eagle summit 1.5 (colt)
removed hub (gotten good at this, changed axels, attempted ball joint removal)
What's the next step in this foto? I assume I remove the brake rotor, but the roller didn't seem to want to come out, though I think it did come out once, maybe that was the rear wheel, probably.

I believe the next step is "replace all parts related"
You got one messed up situation. Not that you hadn't already figured that out.

Correct!!! You seized the bearing, now seize the new parts.
You could clean off all the grease and heat the bearing with a torch, BUT you destroy the temper of the hub createing further/future problems. and the hub bearing surface is probably scored badly.

Well, I have the haynes manual for this beast, guess I should review the section, though there's no "must need" tools off the bat, such as a bearing puller or press or something that you'd say "don't pry.."
yes, you should see the oil leak!
