I got the knuckles off, but had to ruin the tie rod end ball joints to
do so. I felt bad - dumb.

Turns out a mechanic said that it is normal to have to ruin the
tie rod ball joint to remove it......!

A local car repair said they'd press the bearings out and press the new
ones in for $10 each knuckle! Two other places wanted $20 each and
$25 each!

What a job! The cost for parts is wretched!
$200 for the bearings, seals and spindle nuts.
$50 for the tie rod ball joints.
$20 for pressing the bearings out.
Probably $60 for a wheel alignment.

$330 and I did the job myself!

W/o the proper tools, forget it.
