Any DIY or advice on doing front bearings?
So, since the car has over 50,000 miles and I have the whole front end taken apart I decided to do the front bearings at the same time before the allignment . Any advice?

I can't help much but I do know there is a need for a 300+lb torque wrench. Where did you buy the bearings and how much?

Make sure you heat up the wheel carriers before trying to press out/in the wheel bearings.
