90 Celica st wheel bearings

[N8L0]

I've had my 90 celica for 4 years. It has over 200,000 miles now but in the past 2 years has gone through 3 sets of wheel bearings in the front passenger side wheel. I called the Toyota dealer after the first time they had to be replaced and was told that I would have to buy a whole new hub assembly *which is what I have done the past 2 times because I can get them cheap at the salvage yard* because the wheel bearings have to be pressed in with a special press at the toyota factory. This sounds like BS to me so I thought I would ask here if it is possible to press your own bearings in this car.

what are wheel bearings? i just started hearing a light tap or click while braking only, not while driving so im trying to see if the guys at tire plus who just changed my rear brakes and pads if its something they didnt center?

you will most likely have to press them in, but any mechanic shop should have a press, and wheel bearings are what let the wheels spin on the axle, they keep your car rolling
