Default Changing wheel bearings

Is there anything special that I need to change them? I have air tools and the whole kit and caboodle. I know you have to get them pressed on but what about taking them off? I'm assuming they need the same too and not something I can just do since I don't have a press or something I want to try doing and fudging up a 80 dollar bearing. How exactly does the hub come off the knuckle? I know it just doesn't come out on it's own once you pull the axle out. I haven't doesn't this before and it's front driverside of a 99 Acura CL.

I don't plan on putting the bearing on myself. I'm having a shop do that but how does the hub come out of the knuckle? I know it just doesn't fall out once you have the axle out and the caliper and rotor off.

yeah really the hub is pressed into the bearing and the bearing is pressed into the knuckle.... its super simple to get it all apart, getting the bearing in/out can be tricky though. of course i have an integra not a CL but it cant be that different.
