Jack the car up, chalk back tires and put parking brake on. Remove front wheel, remove caliper, rotor, tie rod, lower ball joint, center nut on outer cv joint, remove spindle assembly from car, put spindle on your press, remove c-clips and seals, press old bearing out, press new bearing in. Reverse procedure to install.

front wheel drive car remove brakes remove bolts holding axle remove bolts holding strut pull away spindle give axle a few good tugs and it will pop out.. and best you let someone do it that knows and replace both sides is smarter
You will need to have a hub shark or press to get it out as it is pressed in. You may be able to rent a hub shark from a local tool store, or remove the hub and take it to a machine shop to have the bearing pressed in and out. If you need instructions on how to get the hub off, let me know. I'll tell you right now that it's a real pain to do, so if you've never done the rotors or anything on it, plan for a half day even with good instructions unless you have someone there that's done it before. The rotor fits over like one of those metal puzzles where you have to turn it just so to take it off and the whole hub attaches to the knuckle with 4 bolts in the back of the knuckle.
Remove tire , brake caliper, and rotor, then cap, cotter pin, and nut, jiggle the hub a bit to remove outer bearing slide of hub, be sure to replace both inner and outer bearings. Good Luck
