Default Need to Replace Front Wheel Bearings

on a 2000 honda civic ex, anyone have a good suggestion on a how to site, I am pretty sure I know how to do it, but want to make sure before I start that I am not missing any steps and I can do it on my own. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Should I just replace the whole front wheel hub, it looks like an easier project to undertake, and they are not that much more expensive.

Remove the knuckle.
Put it in a press.
Press out the hub
Press out the bearing.
Put the hub in a vise.
Heat the hub up with a torch.
Use an air hammer to drive the old race off the hub.
Press the new bearing into the knuckle
Press the hub into the new bearing.
Put the knuckle back on the car.

Pretty simple, 45 minutes tops with air tools, 30 minute average.
