Re: Hub bearings?

Like I said I have half a clue and the chilton's only shows so much, sorry. So I know the wheel bearing is pressed into the knuckle and I have one on each side. And then there is a inner race on the hub and then and outer race on the knuckle right next to the wheel bearing. What is the plastic ring with ball bearings in it that goes between the inner and outer race called and do I need to replace it also when I do the wheel bearing?

On the rear hub assembly do I need to buy a whole new hub with a bearing already in it because I can't seem to find a rear wheel bearing for a fwd vehicle? I do see a wheel bearing/hub assembly.

And for getting the front and rear hub's back on the car, I have to get the front hub pressed into the knuckle by a shop right? and does the same go for the rear, is there and axel that I can unbolt on the rear that needs to be pressed back into the rear hub?
