you dont need any shop press to remove the bearing, it would help but not neccesary, you can take it out with a hammer first need 21mm socket to remove the wheel nuts remove the pilot bearing (cv joint nut) 32mm socket then remove 2 bolts from the shock (17mm socket and wrench too) 1 bolt for the tie rod end 17mm 2 bolts for the ball joint 17mm or 14mm not sure now you can pull out the whole spindle, with the spindle out of the car then with the hammer strike the center part hard enough so the inner part of the spindle will come out, (strike it for the side of the cv joint) once the inner part is out with a snap ring tool take out the snap ring and then strike again with the hammer and flat screw driver for the oposite site (strike from the side was supose to be the tire on the spindle so the bearing will came out) now you have to put the new bearing and everything in place again the same way you do to take it out
