Ive replaced front wheels bearings without a press and the last time I did I broke my vice !!
Get it pressed its alot less bother, take it from me If there was a way to do it easier I would have found it, press it ..period.

I can do it without a press but it's a proper fight, it makes me sweat just thinking about.
