what car is it for ??
if its a cosworth then yes fairly easy to do

little tip from me when you putting then new bearings in .........................use the old outer part of the old bearing to press or hammer the new one in
this helps not to damage the new outer part

Also put it in the freezer the night before and it will go in easier.
