I have just had a rear one done for me. I usually do my own stuff but it seems these bearing have magnetic ends that link with elements of the abs. You absolutely need a press to put them in or you risk damage to abs components - I was shown this before the guy did it for me.
You cannot hammer in the bearings as I used to with a suitable drift of course.

I think it is less than one hours work. My guy changed clutch and flywheel and slave release and then did the wheel bearing for £265 in oils and vat so I reckon it's a £50 job max
