2) Disassemble the front suspension and take it to a machine shop to have the old bearing pressed out and the new one pressed in. Cheaper (you don't buy or rent the tool), but hours more of labor.
I own a puller and a press. I can't get the old bearing to brake in half so I can pull & press each side.
