I replaced both my rear bearings without breaking down the hub. I used the bearing puller and a large bearing separator.

Freeze your new bearings for a day before you install them

I would talk to Woody about a new hub. I got one from him for a very reasonable price for another issue.

Using the lug bolts to pull the hub using a big bearing separator to back it up is a good idea too, and you can usually get that tool as a loaner from your local auto parts store.
