Either a shop press can be used (requires removing the hub) or a hub tamer can be used. Have to be careful when pressing the bearings in with a shop press. If not done correctly, the new bearings can be damaged.

Remove all the packing grease in the new bearings. Don't just wipe it off. Use a solvent to get all the grease out. Make sure to use a solvent that doesn't not damage the plastic bearing cage. Repack the bearings with a top quality wheel bearing grease. Amsoil wheel bearing grease has great specs.

Its a good idea to presoak all the nuts being removed with PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench.
