  What is best way to press out hub from bearing or is it better to buy replacement hub/bearing as a set? thanks.

  You can knock the old bearing off fairly easy. Set the hub across the jaws of your vise and tap the bearing through with a large socket to fit the diameter.
If the old hub is in good shape (they typically are) there's no need to replace it.
You can easily press the new bearing in place within the jaws of your vise.
They go in place rather easily - you will be surprised.

Do try to obtain a quality bearing. The recent bearings from China are poopy.

  You may want to check with Fort Wayne Clutch in Indiana. They have good stuff.
