Most parts houses will have a press and can do the job at reasonable

I want to give you one warning!
I had my bearings pressed in and one inner race didn't get seated

Carefully inspect the work after the hubs are returned to you.
Another thing ................ don't use Molybdenum Grease on the Tapered
Roller bearings, it tends to turn them into bushings. (Flames a coming).
