I am not familiar with that exact model but I am pretty sure that bearing is pressed into the knuckle. This means that you will need a press or a special set of tools in rod to press out the old bearing and press in the new bearing. If you do not see any bolts holding the bearing into place than for sure it is pressed in.
What you can do is call around to various shops and machine shops to she what they charge for pressing the bearing in and out. I would bet the charge would be fairly minimal. You can then remove the knuckle from the vehicle, bring it to the shop, and let them press the bearing in and out.

thanks heaps but how do i get the hub off, i have tried with a breaker bar to get the big stud axle nut of and it just wont undo, is there a chance that it may be left hand thread or is there something i need to do b4 i can get that off?
It's probably rusted on and had a pretty high torque. A half inch breaker bar with a pipe extension and a good socket might be in order. I have a pretty high performance impact wrench so axle nuts are never n issue for me. You might want to check you local auto parts store to see if they rent electric impact wrenches. That should work.
I have a feeling you might be from the other side of the pond based on your vehicle and your post. If you are I apologize for not knowing how things are done over there.
I will add that the proper torque spec for the axle nut is vitly important. Failure to torque it correctly will result in the premature failure of your new bearing. Also bearings should not be shopped with your wallet. You don't need the most expensive one but make sure you get a quality bearing from a reputable manufacturer.

An impact driver, No. 3 phillips screwdriver bit, and a hammer may be needed to remove the retaining screw. It is fairly easy to destroy the screw slots using an ordinary phillips screwdriver to remove the tightly driven screw (see photo).
