Presssed on bearings, and i believe pressed on retainer/collar. No c clips. You most likely will destroy the retainer in the removal process. Find new ones before starting the process. a slide hammer won't touch it. You will want a press, i have changed D44 bearingsand collars on a 20-tonne press easily.

drill the locking collar and then hit a chisel across the top of the hole. collar will split, then slides off.
beware stock and aftermarket axles switch orientation of taper on bearing. I've put them together wrong before. (If you have one-piece axles)
i think the backing plate holds them in. no c-clip, hence the retainer at wheel.
