Getting ready to replace Right Front wheel bearing and hub, advice needed

Anyone done this job?

Is the bearing a 'pressed' type, meaning I need to take it to a shop with a bearing press?

I have a noise in the RF that sounds like a bad tire (but not), gets louder when turning and worse at greater speeds. A couple of 'car guys' believe it is the wheel bearing or hub, any thoughts here?

Thanks
