There are tools you can buy for its removal/reinstallation. Many have used sockets the size of the bearing itself to evenly tap it into the hub/knuckle.
Remove the entire knuckle and bring it (with the bearing) to a shop. They shouldn't charge you more than maybe $30 to press the old one out and press the new one in.
ive used slide hammers to pull them while still on the car and sockets and sledge to install....but that was in emergency situations you should always just find a press and do it right or you could damage the spindle then you are really out some money

so your saying on the top part that i can just tap it out and then tap the new one in?
sweet that's what my thought was too but didn't really have an idea for cost cause the guys at the shop couldn't or didn't want to give estimate if i just brought in the part.

answered my other concern. shop and press it is I can DIY something else.
I brought both of my knuckles to a shop and had them do it. They did both for $30 each and had it done in an hour. Wasn't going to take the chance fucking up the bearings and installing them then have them be bad, or marring the inside of the hub/knuckle.
I also installed my Prothane lower control arms while I was doing this (easy as cake). Got an alignment and I no longer have steering wheel vibration and the car drives amazing.

Ima call around i called one place that wants to charge 45 which isn't that bad i think but i gotta drive 45 mics away. yak thanks for the info peeps!
much appreciated
I was able to get it out with a sledge hammer. I used a threaded rod and some extra heavy duty washers to press the new one in. I did both wheels like this with no issues. Just gotta make sure it stays straight.
where did you buy the bearings? if i buy a new hub does it come with the bearing preinstalled?
You can get them either way, depending on where you get them and how much you want to spend. When I replaced mine a couple of years ago, I bought hubs and bearings separately at RockAuto Auto Parts and had a shop press them in. I don't remember how much it was, but $30-$40 seems about right.

"Automotive machine shop" in the Yellow Pages should help you to find a shop. My local shop did the press work for $20 per hub, and AutoZone supplied the bearings.
