If you have drum brakes check the wheel cylinder, if no check brake lines are tight, lastly check axles aren't leaking from seals.

the bearing and bearing retainer need to be pressed on/off at a machine shop.

Or you could just use a hammer and a drift to push it in and out.. that what we use at school even though we have a bearing press.....we barely use it, only for sealed wheels.. thats it...
