I used a harbor freight hydraulic press. Use the old bearings to press the new ones in.

just like any other wheel bearing...

removed the rear knuckle. press out the the hub. press out bearing. remove bearing race from hub. press in new hub from the outside of the bearing. press in hub while supporting the inside of the bearing (so you don't separate the bearing)

+1 on harbor freight presses. I have one and have done 4 bearings so far and it works fine.
