Front Wheel Bearing Q, I have searched, and read, still have quest Options

Have read through the thread:

Front Wheel Bearing Service

My car (1973) does not have "slots" such that I can drive out the inner bearing race (see step 11 in 5th post). If I remove brake backing plate I can most likely drive the inner race off.

But (also) in steps 13 & 14 it seems like the inner race is being driven into the rotor, and it appears to me that one would drive the inner race onto the stub axle, then place the rotor over that and then proceed with outer bearing?

Help?

Inner bearings came off the spindle with a slight tap from a chisel. So I should be good to go. Races in the rotors all look and feel just fine, I was having a problem with just one side, and caught it early so no damage to race/rotor (but the bearing is toast).

Replacing wheel bearings in all four corners. I figure if there is any small chance I will drive this thing from north central KY down to Amelia Island, all corners need to be in known good condition.

Had success removing the passenger side rear wheel bearing (slide hammer, BFH, drift method), but drivers side axle bolt is fighting me. So it will soak in PB Blaster all night and I'll get a bigger extension/impact wrench.
