You can use a cheap harbor freight front wheel bearing kit to do the job. Not sure if it's also a tool you could rent for free from Autozone, Oreilly etc.. I used the SIR tool and wasn't impressed. Getting the race off of the hub was the hardest part for me. Even with a great puller I wasn't able to get it to budge. Since I didn't have my Dremel handy I let a shop cut through most of it then hit it with a hammer and chisel.
You'll also get a lot more room by removing the secondary cats and if you have the means, it's a great time to install secondary bypass pipes.
