And once you get the hub separated from the ball joint, how are you going to get the bearing out? You do not have anything to do that. Some shops would use a simple bearing press:


But a far better method is to use something like the Sir bearing tool, which removes it with the hub still mounted on the car, which we use:



All this stuff cost $, saves time, and gets the job done right in as little time as possible.

I'm more than happy to buy the correct tools to get the job done correctly, it's just been a struggle to find what those tools are. It looks like the bearing removal tool is what I'm going to be ordering next.
