They will be full of grease. Clean it out to get a good look at the internal part of the hub.
There are two bearing surfaces that need to be removed.
The weapon of choice here is an old screw driver and hammer. The plastic handle soaks up some of the shock but still allowed enough force to get the bearing cups moving. Tap around the bearing to get it moving equally or it could get jammed. Discard once out as they will be replaced.
Before the De-Oxy rust bath, I am going to put them in a de-greasing bath.
Screwfix do a range of products called 'No Nonsense'. The heavy duty degreaser can be diluted and as with the calipers, I have put them in a plastic box to soak overnight to remove the grease. After that I'll give them the rust removal treatment.
