You need a press, no if, and, or buts. Also a race seperator for the old hub unless you just want to buy a new one. This is one of those jobs that all you can really do is take the spindle off and take it to a shop and have it pressed out and in just to save a few bucks. Don't let them charge you more than an hour cause most of the work is getting it apart and then put back together on the car.

My local NAPA has a good machine shop that has replaced many 4th gen wheel bearings for me over the years. I think they charge about $60 for the job. Don't forget to get new wheel seals. Usually a good NAPA machine will set you straight on (and sell if needed) items like seals if you forget.
