I had to end my earlier post early.
I needed to add that the bearing should be fairly easy to get off of the spindle. If it is hard to remove, there may be scaring on the spindle from a bad bearing in the past, or the one on there now. The new bearing needs to be greased (packed)and placed in the hub followed by the oil seal. If the new bearing does not go on the spindle with medium finger pressure and careful positioning, then the shaft should be polished with 240-320grit abrasive strip. Polish round and round evenly, till the high spots are gone. If there is a groove, or the original bearing has worn a depression in the spindle, it is probably best to consider a new/used good spindle. Welding and grinding the old grooved spindle is costly machine shop labor.
Good luck, jimN
