As Trygve wrote, if you have the right tools and a bit of skill, it can be done. Just takes time. I always borrow my friends Matco bearing puller set (similar to B90 tool), plus I have a 12 ton press (Harbor Freight, $120). Keep the bearings in the freezer and heat the hubs to make the job a bit easier. Both front and rear bearings could be pulled and pressed in the car after dropping the wheel carrier from the shocks. If a was not replacing the LCA's, I would have done it on the car.
I had one bad bearing when I bought the car, it had to be replaced - so while I was in there!!!!
