not to patronize... but you use a press to press them out.

what i usually do is pull the knuckle off if it's the front and set it up on a shop press. you'll have to improvize the press jig (very large sockets, old wheel bearings, anything sturdy and round..)

on the back- you can in some instances loosen all the bolts, but leave them in about half-way threaded. soak the bearing OD in penetrating oil/spray and begin tapping the bolts with a hammer to knock it out. i would start lightly, in a cris-cross pattern, slowly increasing force untill it pops loose.

dissclaimer: these are my general suggestions under the assumption that you have prior mechanical abilities and sense. if you have any uncertianty as to what to do after reading, have a compentent friend help or invest in a good repair manual.

remember with any of the methods available, safety glasses are a must.

Yeah, for the front, pull off the knuckle and bring it to a shop, where for a nominal fee they will press out the hub and bearing and press in the new bearing.

You can do the rear bearing yourself as it is integrated with the hub. You simply replace the whole hub/bearing unit.
