Scout 44 Rear question

[Fullreversal]

This may be a dumb question, but when replacing seals on a Scout 44 (rear), do you have to remove the bearings? If so, will I have to destroy them in the process? Thanks

[Old Scout]

Yes and most of the time yes.

Axle seals, or pumpkin seals?

axle seals...
are there any ways to minimize downtime while changing the bearings? how do they press on the new bearings?
