Default 91 Civic LX Brake Drag Issues

Ok..I've replaced the axles (bad cv joints), calipers and pads. The brakes still seem to be dragging...I'm running out of parts to replace. I'm thinking it's the wheel bearings or the rotors.

Does anyone know what tool(s) I need to remove and install the wheel bearings?

bearings are a bitch to replace, what exactly is wrong with your brakes?

Basicly...after replacing the Axles, calipers and pads...I test drive the car around the block and I can hear the drivers side brakes dragging (or at least that's what is sounds like...I come back and there is a smell of burning brakes and slight smoking coming out of the wheel well. The dragging sound gets louder and louder the faster I go.

I found out what I need to do to replace the bearings...the have to be pressed out with a hydralic press ($84 dollars to press and install each side from Honda Dealer)
