best bet if you can manage ..remove the front hub and take it to a garage and pay them a drink to press it in with thier hydraulic press

yeah tenner seems to be the going rate , id suggest you only buy a good quality bearing like SKF /FAG or one from the dealer , cheapo brands dont last long and you will be doing it again
