you have extracted the wheel hub from the bearing. you can try to press it back with the nut but if too far out the bearing will separate and die. i.e. 3/8" proilly more like 1/8" it may have popped already, or it may have slimed out and a simple retorque will work, do not force the nut if it starts to hang i.e. 120 pounds torque???( torque spec is 300 ish?)
it is funky bearing that requires support on both races. cant extract without breaking. have to press in with inner race support etc.
you need to buy a bently manual. the 50$ would have just been saved. plus more $ saved with future adventures for a mechanically inclined son. sorry for the misfortune, but a good manual (may have to ordered from sponsor .vs. a parts store) but wheel bearing instructions are also available online somewhere around here, just where escapes me now (http://www.townsendimports.com?? just ask the board) and some labor will make for some father/son time and a chance for redemption as well. a son who will help you reduce car maintenance fees is a good investment. a 93 is ready for new wheel bearings anyway :). good luck.
