Getting the hub carrier off isn't hard. Getting the wheel bearing out
and the new one in intact is a pain. The right way to do it is to take
it to a machine shop and have it pressed out. An alternative is to use
a slide hammer/puller to get the old one out, and use a piece of
tubing sized slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the outer
bearing race to pound it in with a small sledge. I'd really suggest
looking for a machine shop though. I've done this job four or five
times now. The second time I did it, I tried to save the thirty bucks.
Every time since, I have gladly spent it.
So if you are a shade tree mechanic with access to a press, not too
big a job. It only takes me about a half hour to get the hub carrier
off on the rear, and a little longer on the front since the ball joint
is a pain.

Also,
some parts suppliers show seals, others do not. Will I need seals or
is it a sealed bearing?
Thanks for your help,
