First jack rear end up and block it..Remove the rear tires,Take off caliper and caliper bracket..Next remove the rotor,Then there will be a big nut in the center that the axle is bolted to.Remove that nut..Then make sure thees no wires for abs or any other kind of wires connected to the bearing.Next you should see 3 bolts holding the bearing in maybe 4 they changed them so many times..After removing the bolts you'll probably need a hammer and a chisel or air chisel to get the bearing out..Be careful when doing this to not damage the holder thats holding the bearing it.Go all the way around it with the chisel working all corners to removing the bearing..By now you should have progress on getting it out.Repeat process to installing the new one..Just be very carefull in not ruining the new one and there is a torque spec on the center nut that holds the axle and tightens the bearings preload.Call your local parts store for torque spec on rear axle nut.If you don't get the right amount off torque will result in early failure.Not to tight and not to loose.It not that major and it may seem but will save you money in the end..So dont forget to get the torque specs.Good luck and happy I could help..

Check for loose lug nuts. Otherwise, you may have bad wheel bearings that need replacement. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1140398&parttype=1672

Need to remove the old bearing from a 1994 ford thunderbird and replace it by hand. How do I do this and which direction do you go for removal.

bearing come out on the side they went in.
bearings r 2 pieces, the bearing and its race.
bearing is held in by some bolt arrangement so removing that allows bearing to come out.
race is press fit and requires a removing tool or access to the rear of bearing, a hammer and something to go between hammer and rear edge of bearing - then tap around edge to move it out.

How to replace rear axle bearings on a 87 thunderbird

Jack the car and put stands under the body just ahead of the upper control arm perch, next pull off the rear wheel and tire assemblies, next go under car with a 1/2" socket and drain pan and remove cover from rear end housing. Now turn drive shaft until you see a horizontal bolt with a 5/16 head, remove this bolt and place in cover so you remember to put it back. Now push the axles in at the lugs (push towards center of car) they will only move about 3/8". Now inside the housing there should be two c-clips one on the end of each axle. Remove these using a pair of long needle nose pliers. Once these have been removed go back to side of car and pull on the axle flange and remove axles. Now the axle bearing and seal are exposed. A slide hammer must be used at this time to remove bearings. CAUTION!!!!! once the c-clips and axles are removed DO NOT turn the driveshaft for ANY reason!!!
