You can "readily" do it yourself!
The hub/bearing assembly is held onto the steering knuckle with 3 bolts.

Take the steering hub and knuckle to a machine shop. The bearing must be pressed out and a new one pressed into the hub.
No it does not have to be pressed in get yourself a wooden block and a hand held sledgehammer and go to work just don't hit the hub bearing without the wooden block in place.
After removing the steering knuckle place it on a vise. Place a big impact socket (30mm+) on the bearing and smack it with a sledge hammer. Use WD-40 to help it. Don't forget to remove the metal clip before any of this. If you don't have a vise use 2 bricks or something similar. Bricks might break. Good luck. machine shop oooOoOooOooo whateveras far as i know, without a slew of special tools, you will probably not beable to change the wheel bearing by yourself. the bearing is pressed into the spindle, and the dish that holds the studs is pressed into the bearing. you will probably need to take the spinde off, and have the bearing pressed out, and back in, at a machine shop.
It wasn't specified what the model year this is or which "S" series was asked about, but on my 2001 SL1 the ONLY way to replace the front bearings is removing the front wheel bearing assemblies then taking them, and the new bearings, to a machine shop to have the old bearings pressed out and the new bearings pressed in. Then reattach the hub assemblies to the car. The wheels will also need to be realigned after having to unbolt the front struts to remove the bearing assemblies.
The hub is pressed in. Remove the knuckle with the hub and bearing in it and take it to local machine shop.
Depending on model year the now discontinued Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan type vehicle may have been equipped with a combination of pressed in and sealed wheel bearings. Sealed wheel bearings involve unbolting the hubs and replacing them with new units. Pressed in bearings must be removed, repacked with fresh grease and then pressed by industrial unit, then reinstalled. Machine shops can also repress in bearings if you do not have a press.
you gotta pull off the knuckle, and have the bearing pressed out, and a new one pressed in
Yes it is pressed, have a reputable shop do it for you though!!!
it might have to be pressed in with a machine call and ask people
The hub has to be removed and the new bearing pressed in and the old bearing pressed out. This is not a job for the do it yourselfer.
ABS sensors are often a ring of metal teeth pressed onto the axle or hub. If any of those metal teeth were damaged when replacing the bearing it may trigger the ABS light.
this is a sealed hub and bearing assembly. it should come with the "hub" the flange with the lug studs sticking out, and pressed into the bearing housing.. if u just received a bearing only.. u will need new seals and a press..
