Hi. This isn't a quick repair. Procedure is to raise wheel off ground, place jack stand in place (for safety), remove brakes to expose axle, remove (4) axle retaining bolts and slide hammer to remove axle. A race removal tool will be needed to remove the old race from the axle shaft. You will buy a new axle seal, bearing and race. NOTE: Press the old bearing off first. There are two sizes plus if the retaining plate or retaining ring get damaged. you won't be surprised. A parts store or hydraulic should be your "Go To Place" for pressing off the old bearing and pressing on, the Retaining plate, new seal and bearing and retaining ring. Clean the axle shaft and install the new race and put it back together. If you need anything else please write back. Details are always good. Don't worry about saying too much. Good Luck.
make sure there aren't any c clips holding it on I would use a block of wood and a hammer I have put green slime in my tires that stuff works great it should fix your tire

Headlights - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION If some or all of the headlight bulbs being replaced still operate,
refer to the headlight aiming procedure later in this section to ease
checking or adjustment of the headlights after installation.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Loosen and remove the retaining screws, then remove the headlight
bezel from the front of the vehicle.
On most models, the headlight bulb retaining ring is only held on
by retaining screws. If so, remove the bulb retaining ring screws. These
are the screws which hold the thin metal ring which holds the bulb
against the adjusting plate. Do not touch the two headlight aiming
screws, at the center of the top and side of the retaining ring (these
screws will have different heads), or the headlight aim will have to be
re-adjusted.
One way to identify the retaining ring screws is that they will be
threaded through a lip on the outer edge of the retaining ring before
threading through the adjusting plate. One the other hand, the
adjustment screws are threaded through the adjustment plate and a spring
loaded holder underneath it.
