how hard to change front wheel hub bearing?
 
on my girls 95 toyota tercel her front wheel hub bearing is fucked. she has disk brakes in the front. on a scale of 1-10 how hard would you guys rate this? i dont have a press or whatever to get the hub bearing out, or put back in. do you think this would be a problem? ive tried to call around autoparts stores and nobody has the press for sale or rent. is there another way to get the bearing out/back in?
also, ive tried googleing for tutorials on this, because for some reason i cannot find a manual for a 95 tercel, just pre-94. the best tutorial i could find was

http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doity...h_bearing1.htm

do you think the tutorial is does a good job explaining? any additional comments?

thanks guys.

I would just take the spindal off and take it to a shop and have them press the old one out and the new one in.

All a press is a hydraulic unit with adjustable bracing/binding area. Get a floorjack, some large sockets, and a little creativity. You'll have no problem getting those hubs & bearings out............

agreed I just changed the one on my girlfriends car it was pretty simple. She had a fucked CV joint I looked at the wheel bearing it was in pieces but the bearing is easy to change.
