You also need to get the outer seals. You can get them at your local auto parts store.

Double check your order and make sure you have 4 seals there.
As far as how to do it: 1. Remove the CV shaft from the rear spindle. 2. Remove the tire. From this point I'm not sure as I have only done the ones on my 924 and not my 944. However I will take a stab at what I think you will see and need to remove (assuming that this has disk brakes in rear). Any one else on here sees something wrong, please jump in. 3. Remove the nut from the shaft running through the hub. 4. Pull out the shaft from the inboard side of the hub. you may need to coax it out with a rubber mallet. Clean the shaft of old grease and any minor rust. Be careful not to gouge the surface where the seals and bearings ride. 5. Remove old seals. Note which is inboard and outboard. 6. Remove O-ring. 7. Remove bearings. Note which one is inboard and outboard. 8. Remove spacer tube inside and clean out old bearing grease. 9. Repack hub liberally with new bearing grease. 10. Intstall new parts in reverse of removal. Be sure to pack the bearings with grease before installing them. Once you have one of the bearings installed, pack the hub as full of the bearing grease as possible. Then install the other bearing. 11. Look up torque specs for the hub shaft nut and also the allen bolts on the CV shaft. The whole process is rather straight forward once you get into it. Do one side at a time. Once you do one side the other will go much faster. Hope this helps. Have fun.

The bearing races may also need some coaxing to get them out of the hubs. Try not to score the inner hub surfaces and be sure to install the new bearings straight.

If you don't have an impact, you'll need the help of about 8' of 1 1/2 " pipe to get the spindle nuts loose.

Get the bearings packed.
Put them in a freezer for a few hours - it will shrink them slightly and make them slightly easier to install. AFJuvat
