I did it on my own (all four wheels at once and installed coilovers at the same time)...
and at some point I wondered why the hell I didn't bring it to the shop... it took me the whole weekend due to stripped bolt heads, broken bolts, seized components, etc...
It is a hard job!

From my experience on my B5...
remove the suspension hub assembly and take it to a shop to have the bearings pressed in and out. Cost me $100 for both sides supplying my own parts.
And it saved a huge amount of time and effort and money.

haha, at least you totally avoided the part where...
I curled up in the fetal position on my garage floor and cursed the day when I said to myself: "hey, maybe I'll change my wheel bearings on my own, should be fun!"
