First,hub should be removed from car,

Undoing the drive shaft nut(36 mm. huge socket),, good luck with it

Once you got the hub out,you have to remove the flange,

Then,circlip

Finally ,press the bearing out...(circlip side)

Press the new bearing,install the circlip,press the flange,make sure it spins smoothly ,install it to where it belongs,

Good luck,
(It takes me 45 mins. at work with proper tools,I suggest you don't try it at home)

I got mine done by Holden. Took them a day and a half because I think they forgot to order the part before they started pulling it apart, but it's been good for 7 years since.
Sounds like you need a 3/4 breaker bar and a press to attempt it at home.
