I took the old and new uprights to a local mechanic to swap the hub and drop in the new bearing. Didn't want to mess around with putting any auto parts in the oven, plus my wife would have killed me for sure. Any mechanic can do that for $100 or less. It's worth it.
One of my wheel speed sensor was stuck, but the shop was able to get that out once the hub was pulled out. You can push on the sensor from the inside.
Your front alignment will be jacked when you have the new parts in, just eyeball it as good as you can and drive slowly to the alignment shop. I drove 30 miles to the shop after I did all four corners and it was fine. Shouldn't need to redo the rear, but the shop will probably check it anyway.
