I've done a couple of this type of set up before, yuk, now i just replace the knuckle with a second hand one with a good bearing much easier.

 

As Andy said remove the steering knuckle.

 

But you will also need to remove the hub, by removing cap at the back of knuckle then undo the locking nut, take off the ABS senser ring and use a drift to bash the hub out, then remove inner race bearing off the hub. (bearing assembly has inner and outer bearings) and put new inner race on hub. On the steering knuckle take off cir clip and seal and press bearing out the knuckle, press new outer bearing into knuckle, then press hub into knuckle with new greese seals but dont put greese on the 2 bearing surfaces, then voila put the whole thing back together again
