My front wheel bearing failed finally after 100,000 miles on my Nnbs 2007 1500. I ordered a Timken to replace it but I'm wondering if or how to get the bearing out of the old hub so I can press a new one in and have it as a spare since these things are so dang expensive.

Id buy a second one...if one went out, the other is right behind it. Ive never seen/heard of people replacing the bearing only...its always been entire hub assembly

DO THIS!!!! Replace the entire assembly, that's how they are sold. You'll need a BFH 3lb one.

I didn't and paid for it.
