The bearings should come off easily. The hard part is getting the
bearing cups out of the hub. You have to knock them out with a drift and
hammer. Make sure you pack the new bearings well with grease.
I had an odd noise with one of my hubs that I could not figure out
until I happened to notice that I could rotate one of the cups with my
finger. So if you have any extra noises in the front check all the little
details.

I'm planning on replacing the front wheel bearings, which are in all
likelyhood, the originals, still with original grease. First time I've done
this.
I have the new bearings and seals. My question is, how easily do the
bearings come off the spindles? Have you found them to come off easily, or
have you needed a separator to free them?
