I think we should stop using "driveway repairs" as a derogative term. There's nothing wrong with a car owner repairing their own car. Years ago, that was a very usual, normal thing to do. I replaced my own wheel bearings in my garage, and have been driving on them for 5 years. It's not that difficult, and doing it yourself doesn't make your car unsafe or defective.

Kind of scary how "repairing your own things yourself" has fallen so far out of fashion. We should be applauding and encouraging people to build these kind of skills, not insulting them.

I would have thought most people here are doing much more complicated work all day.

All four bearings are part of an assembly that bolts in. 8 or 12 bolts depending on position. I'm lucky that I don't even need a press.

The wheel comes off (5 bolts), the brakes come off (2 bolts), the axle/hub bolt comes out (1 bolt), and then on the front there are four bolts holding the assembly to the car. On the rear, nothing holds it on except that hub bolt.

Use a torque wrench to get them to spec. The kits came with new bolts. The axle bolts go on tight tight.
