Front wheel bearing question

I've got a grinding noise when taking a hard right turn. Thinking the front left wheel bearing is going bad.

I know that every automobile is different. On some you can just get a new hub assembly and swap it out easily, on some it's more involved. What's the situation with the 4Runner? (2WD) Can I just swap it out in my driveway or is it something that's pressed in and requires a shop?

I tried doing my bearings but without the right press it's difficult. I removed the spindle and brought it to a shop. They installed the new ones and I put everything back together
 
It needs pressed. My buddy and I took his hub to my buddys Nissan/Mitsu performance shop and they had issues with a press, but got her done after some bad words to us when we picked it up. LOL.
