Question Bearing Replacement Difficulty?

So i just got back from the mechanics because I thought I had a bad rotor and possibly needed my brakes fixed. Well they told me that, that stuff was fine and that I needed a new bearing on my front passenger side. After being quoted a price I came to see if I could do it myself. I've watched a couple youtube videos and it seems like a lot. Just wondering do you guys feel like it's not that bad or is it actually a lot of work and I should probably just find the parts online and have a mechanic install it?

Thank you...

The bearing on your car is pressed into the knuckle (like my TSX). I did my bearing and it was a pain. It is not like the 94-97 accord bearing that are bolted into the knuckle.

If you want to cut back on cost, find a machine shop that will do the work. Take off the front knuckle and take them the knuckle and bearing.
