No special tools needed to take the hub off. You can get a tie rod separator to take the tie rod loose, but I always use a big hammer and rap the sleeve the tie rod is pressed into. It momentarily relaxes the fitting and the tie rod will pop out. Sometimes the drive shaft splines are difficult to get loose from the hub. If you want, you can take the hub to a machine shop and they will R&R the bearing for you for a nominal price.
