Angry Front wheel bearing

Don't you know...just when I was about to sell my S-type V8...which I love but my wife doesn't...the LHS front wheel bearing has failed. It looks like the whole hub has to be replaced. Is it not possible to press the bearing and replace it? If so, does anyone know a source and part no. for just the bearing?

not the whole upright/knuckle/spindle assembly, but yes, the hub and bearing are serviced as one unit, which actually isnt a bad thing, as you dont have to waste time pressing bearings in and out; just 4 bolts from the back and the hub comes out and bolt new one right back in,
i used rock-auto.com timken brand complete replacements, and they were cheap and of good quality, about 100-150 a side,

Thks I thought that was the case...and you are right it is easier than having to press bearings. Have ordered the part.
