the bearing indeed comes in one piece, but the inner race is actually two pieces. there's a plastic thing pressed into the middle to hold it in place until installation. once it's pressed onto the hub, it doesn't come out in one piece. You'll see this when you get it apart.

Also check the hub surface itself (where the bearing presses on) to make sure it isn't chewed up. The bearing should be pressed onto the hub AND into the spindle. if it slides onto the hub without much effort, then you need to replace the hub. That was the case with mine.

And just in case you're thinking of going to a junkyard for it, VE and VG hubs are different. spindles and bearings are the same, but the hubs are different because the VE has slight bit larger axles.

: I think i will do it myself. I have a shop that i go to with a lot of knowledgeable staff, they can help alot. Thanks!
