replace wheel bearing or hub assembly?

OK so I recently bought a 99 boxster. It needs both rear bearing. I am pretty handing and like to work on my car myself.

However ater reading the DIY on the rear bearings it shows you need a tool and the bearings are pressed in so I figure the mechanic is the way to go. The local porsche guy says $800 for the job.
Now looking online I can get a can both the rear spindel assemblies for $300. I have done hub and bearing assemblies on domestic cars before without any problems..... so this seems like a better solution.

Am I missing anything? Any special tools needed?
