Your next challenge, if bearing replacement is in the cards, is to remove the outer races from the hubs. This is not an easy task and requires a proper drift and considerable patience. You must lightly tap the race all around its circumference. There will appear to be no movement, but, in reality, it will be disengaging itself by .002" with each tap. If you hit it hard, you'll jam it and be there for hours.

One of those "cold shot" sprays would probably assist greatly, especially if you warm the hub first.
