I hear you have to take the hub out to a shop and get it pressed out or something. I just replaced mine last weekend, but thankfully everything was in good shape on my parts car, and I just swapped the whole knuckle/bearing/hub in.

Yeah, you need a press. It's not hard to do, but you have to use one to get it apart.

You will need to take the hub in somewhere and have the old bearing pressed out, and the new one pressed in. Make sure you torque the axle nut to specifications (166 ft-lbs according to my .pdf manual) or you'll have trouble. Also a good time to replace the ball joints if yours are no good.
