Front Bearings Replacement

I am working on a 1995 Tacoma. I want to replace the front bearings. Since they are pressed in, do I need to take it to the dealer to have them pressed out and the new ones pressed in? If I can get access to a press, can I do it myself? Any tips or thoughts??

ADD or manual hubs?

Either way its going to be soooo much fun to change them out..... trust me.

I ended up taking mine to a machine shop, and they will never do those again.

That doesn't sound very encouraging. I assume by ADD you are talking about the hubs that don't have to be locked in manually. I am pretty green at this Toyota stuff. It sounds like I need to just suck it up and take it to the dealer.
