Wheel bearing install

Has anyone bought the tool kit to do them? It's like 500$, but seems to make it easier. Is the *** bearings the good ones to buy?

take the upright off and use the oven technique and a shop press for removal...saves the aluminum uprights from scoring and it literally falls together for assembly

Taking the entire assembly off looks like a pita, plus an alignment has to be done after. HUGE pita. That's why im asking about the press tool

You don't need to do an alignment after removing and reinstalling the uprights. Nothing changes.
