It is very straightforward if you have the right tools.
I did mine last winter, the only thing I didn't have was a press. Bought a 15 ton version and it made mincemeat of it, the gauge said it only needed 3tons of pressure to remove old and press in new.
I bought new Dorman hubs as my old ones were warped, made it easier.
Be methodical with the right tools and it is genuinely easy...

Check out the wheel bearing replacement & removal video on YouTube by loan wolf racing,,,,,,for me I found removing/cutting the race from the hub the hardest part,,,,when pressing in the new bearing make sure it's the right way round and use the old bearing as the die
