Ive pressed out a crx wheel bearing on a vice. Just get some big sockets and place them carefully.

i just used a big socket and a hammer. worked fine. car still rides great. no noise no nothing. last time i checked with a machine shop. they were only charging 20 to take off the old one and put the new one on

big hammer with an even bigger person swinging it.

Re: repalcing wheel bearing with out a press
 

hammering on a bearing is never a good idea. it might work if your lucky but bearings are very hard and can chip or crack easy.
