When i take this to a machine shop will they be able to get it all apart and install a new bearing? Both sides just fell out when i went to remove them.

One of your bearing races was probably loose and from the looks of if, maybe your hub is damaged. Otherwise it looks ready for a press. I'm thinking you'll need a new hub if that inner race just fell off like that.
Usually the outer race on the hub will have to be cut off.

No reason to cut off the outer race. Thats why they mae bearing pullers.

It's faster to cut it off then pull it.....takes 10 seconds to cut it off.

Should be good to go.. Just need the old bearing pressed out and the inner race stuck on the hub can be taken off by them as well. Just leave it with them and a new bearing, all should be well.

yeah thats typically how they come out anyways, cut the race off the hub, and press the rest of the bearing out of the knuckle

Had to go to the junk yard and pull newer knuckles and hubs. These were chewed up.

I thought that hub looked chewed up..Make sure you can return the ones you got if they are in the same shape as the ones you took out.

Already got them all done and on the car. Rides much better now. I did ball joints and tie rod ends too. Now I need an alignment badly.

Don't waste any time getting an alignment. No reason to kill a good pair of tires.

My hub looked exactly like that, and the machine shop said I needed a new one. They didn't say, "Hey, we can get you one for $XXX," so I had no reason to believe they were just trying to up-sell me. ;)

If the inner race doesn't press onto the hub and stay tight you'll need to get new hubs as well. You're looking at about $330 in parts for new inner and outer seals, bearing retainer clips, bearings and hubs. I've done mine twice in one year, and the second time the inner race didn't stay pressed onto the hubs like I wanted. Thankfully the driveshafts and nuts holds that all together. All I can say is, make sure your axle nuts are always tight and if you suspect a bearing is going out, if possible stop driving the car until you can investigate further, it doesn't take long to ruin the hubs to the point that the race won't stay pressed on.
