Or you can buy a harbor freight 20 Ton press for $150 and a set of Koyo wheel bearings for $60 each (OEM supplier), a few seals for $5 each and do it for less and have a press for future projects at the end of the day.
I use my press more than I thought. Think about replacing the bearings on belt pulleys for $5 per bearing instead of $50 per pulley. So many times it would have cost me way more if I have to buy the complete assembly. My 20 ton press has paid for itself over and over again.
Haha. I too bought the 20 ton press from harbor freight years ago just to do my FJ's front wheel bearings (this was before anybody sold the pre-assembled ones). One of the best tool investments I've ever made. I have used it probably 200 times since, from bending metal, pressing bearings/races, seals, and bushings, etc. It's just so versatile.
