It's a horrible job, if i had to do it again i would just hand it to a garage, and i do all my own work.

you need to get them pressed in and out, trying to DIY it can lead to damage and having to do it all over again, not worth it really

As above, if the new bearings are not pressed in correctly you can destroy them with ease.

Screw that then. I'll just leave them. I was just thinking it might be worth it while the arms are off the car.

I'd only say its not a bad job IF you have the right tools...I have a bearing removal kit and can do one start to finish in about 30-40minutes.

Some people choose to hammer them out but this can do alot of damage and isn't advisable.
