Remove the knuckle and have a shop press out and replace the bearing and then have an alignment.
Spend $300 or so on the tools (Hubtamer).
See if you can rent the tool.
See if someone responds that bought the less expensive Harbor Freight bearing tools. Not sure if they will work alone.
A lot of board members have done this and may be able to offer additional help. So far I've only needed to to a rear.

wheel bearings can be tricky for a number of reasons. if you want to save money, buy the bearing (subaruparts.com maybe, super cheap) and take the hub to an automotive machine shop. they should pack it and install it for about 50 dollars. then install the hub yourself. removing the hub is easy and straight forward (In my oppinion) compared to wheel bearings. i did this last year and they charged 100 dollars to do both front hubs.
