John,
  I recently used the HF Model 38335  "3-in-1 Service kit" to replace
a rear wheel bearing in my daughter's Audi A4.
It will substitute for a press in a pinch if you include a little
grunting and cussing.  It's a lot more portable than my press and I
was 800 miles from home.  You may need to augment the included
adapters with some pipe fittings and steel plates, etc.
