Is this pressed in? how hard is the job?|||It is a complete assembly, a sealed unit. It is called a hub bearing and they are relatively easy to change. Jack and support the car, remove the tires, brake caliper, caliper mount and remove the rotor. Remove the axle nut, Tap axle shaft inward it ensure in will come out when hub is removed. Locate and remove the hub bearing to spindle mounting bolts. Once the mounting bolts are removed, tap on the inside edge of the bearing(Where the heads of the lug studs are) firmly with a hammer while moving from one side to the other working you way around until it falls out. If sensor are present, carefully fish them out or remove first. Depending on sensor type.
Keep an eye on the backing plate location so when you put the new hub bearing in, it is in the proper position with the backing plate.
Now bolt everything back, put the axle nut on and tighten, rotor, caliper mount then the caliper and brakes. mount tire and spin to make sure nothing like the rotor and backing plate are touching and making noise. Plug the wheel speed sensor in if it has one and you are done.
This is assuming that it is a front hub bearing. If it is the back, they are even easier.
