You will need a puller to remove the tie rod end from the hub. You may also want to have a very long breaker bar to remove the axle nut. Once you have the ball joint, brake caliper, strut bolts, and tie rod end removed you can pull the hub off. I've always taken the hub to a shop with the new bearing so it can be pressed in, but I believe there are tools that allow you to keep the hub on the car.
