Default Kia pride. How to remove the front wheel bearing

Hi

I have a 1995 Kia Pride & I want to know how to remove the front wheel bearing. I have removed the wheel assembly from the car but I can't remove the bearing, not even the disc. I don't know how. Here is a photo of my wheel. Please can someone tell me how to do it?

Thanks

Default which bearing you would like to remove?

if u want to remove only the outer bearing, you only have to remove the breaking system and the seal cap. but if you want to open entire wheel bearing, you have to dismantle the breaking system first, the ball joint, center nut, the absober and the disc rotor.

That nut in the middle needs to come off (it secures the drive shaft), and then remove the brake callipers, and detach the hub from the suspension joints and the steering tie-rod , then with the assembly loose it should slide off the drive shaft and you can then move it to the work bench.

Then the rotating part is pressed out of the hub, then after removing a large diameter inner cir-clip, use a press to push out the complete bearing (the inner and outer are one complete unit).
