I just pressed in several this past weekend. I can do them pretty quick now, having done as many as I have.
Knock the center spindle out of the old hub assembly from the back with a hammer. Remove spring clip and press the remaining outer bearing race from the knuckle from the back. It takes all kinds of fiddling and fidgeting with different tools and spacers and things to find the right combo to fit to be able to press it out successfully.
Then you have to knock the inner race off the center spindle, which is the annoying part. I like to use a torch to heat it up until it gets loose, then knock it off with a hammer/chisel. Some folks will cut a notch in it with a grinder and smack it until it cracks loose.
Anyways, then after cleaning up the inner surface of the knuckle, you press the bearing into it from the front, until it bottoms out against the spring clip. Then you press the center spindle into the bearing until it bottoms out as well. Then you're done.
No real tricks or secrets - just put in the work.
