Default 97 accord wheel bearing help

My front right wheel bearing has gone bad. Is this something I can do with basic tools or do I need to have a shop do it since I don't have a press I am very good with hondas and done alot of swaps/motor builds. Or would it be easier to just find a whole new front suspension and just change that i.e. the whole brake knuckle assembly?

Getting the hub/bearing assembally would be easiest, all you have to do is bang out the old hub from the knuckle with a hammer or a puller/pusher device and bolt in the new one.

Seperating the hub from the bearing is the hard part and you would need a press. I was trying to do it without one, but I broke my 3 claw puller. Takes a lot of force to push it out!! So I took it to Les Schuab and the guy in the back did it for $40 cash and it didn't look that easy.
