You do not have to pull the cover off. The rear brake has to be removed and the four bolts that hold the bearing in th housing have to come off. Once the bolts are off tap on the axle and it should pull out. The bearing will have to be pressed off the axle.

Actually, the bearing will have to be cut off the axle. The new bearing and seal will have to be pressed on. Make sure you get the correct seal. There is a specific right side seal, and left side seal.
I highly recommend you find a shop qualified to do it right, or you will be doing it again.
