No offence but in reading your post yesterday about removing the rotor, it seems you're trying to do this job blindly with no books, knowledge or experience.
Rebuilding the rear wheel bearing assemblies is one of the most complex tasks and requires several hundreds of dollars worth of tools and measuring equipment.
Do a search, get some books and do what most end up choosing- send them out to be rebuilt.
Using a BFH will result in many tears.

I followed the other members advice....it was a pain to disassemble using the correct tools......and reassembly was a pain also.
Now that I have learned how to do it the right way, it will be easier in the future.
