I'd do mine myself its fairly easy imo, I used a socket the same size as the bearing with a block of wood and a hammer to 'push' the new one in. No doubt others will say you need a press but I'm a tight git who doesn't pay a garage for anything other than an MOT. and thats only because I have to  :laugh:
