Default Well, you still need to remove the hub to get the bearing out...
it's just that with teh On The Car press, you don't have to remove the whole upright, you just pop the axle out of the hub, use teh press to push the hub out, then the bearing. this is not exactly a new invention, I used one on my 5000s 13 years ago or so.

Default Google is your friend :-)
For the Hub Shark brand, here it is for $284. Not sure what the difference is between it and the one Mister S has linked in his post though...

This says it is only for the front bearings. You think this will work for the rear bearings as well

Default You would think so, I think the main reason they say FRONT is because it saves you the alignment $$$
The process for the back is very similar
