Default Alright, where is a good shop to replace a wheel bearing?

I've got the dreaded humming sound from the front passenger side when I'm turning left (can hear it going straight also). Can really hear it if I go around a corner hard.

Think it is a DIY job? Anyone have the necessary tools or recommendations?

Default I know they need to be pressed and the tool is 350 bucks.
