Depends on what tools you access to really, i have done it with hand tools and then taken the hub to a garage to have the new bearing pressed in but it would be much easier with a good impact wrench.

Pretty straight forward but the outer will need pressing out.

The suspension had to be cut off to get the hub off as the bolts were seized, ended up with a bill for £535 to replace a bearing ! Had to get the alignment redone as a result too.
Nice !
