You need a special socket.
I am getting ready to do wheel bearing to, and just ordered the socket off ebay for $120. Pricey for a tool, but the dealer wanted close to $500 to do the job.
There was talk on the forum about have one as a loaner for different members to borrow, but I don't think that ever happened.

Here's some older info I don't know if it is still valid;

Another option might be to take the spindle / hub assembly off the car , and take that to the Jag dealer and just pay them for the labor to remove the nut, press in the new bearing, and put the nut back on. If you had a dealer willing to work with you like that, that might save a lot of the cost. You will also need access to a press anyway.
