Rear Wheel Bearing replacement questions

[PegramPete]

Newbie (to 4 runners. More experience in FJ40, 55, and 80 series LC) here. 97 4runner, 155K. So I think the drivers side rear wheel bearing is shot -- wheel wobble and funny noises. I have done some preliminary research here and it looks like getting the old bearing, ABS ring, and ABS retainer rings off is beyond my capabilities as I don't have a press or an acetylene torch. Called 3 machine shops in Nashville and no one wants any part of it, even if I bring the whole removed axle shaft assembly to them. Any suggestions? It's the wife's rig and she has to use it for work so it can't be out of action too long. I can't afford the dealership. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

It doesn't have to be a machine shop, just someone with a press and the correct adapters. I can't believe no one needs your business. I would call around to some of the auto shops in the area instead.
