alot of times when you dont have the special tools you can use part of the old bearing. you need to support the inside of the new bearing with the old bearing, that way when your pressing the hub in you dont separate the bearing you just installed. just food for thought you could take you knuckle off the vehicle and let a shop do the actual pressing of the new bearing in. my guess is they would charge around an hour worth of labor. hope this helped.
