Ford Focus Mk2 2007 - Front Wheel Bearing - Kildrummy

I need to replace a front wheel bearing on my Mk2 Focus. Can anyone tell me if this bearing/hub assy needs to be pressed out and new one pressed in? This will determin if it's a DIY job or a garage job.

Regards

The Citroen ones that I have done are pressed in but I have always been able the get the outer ring out by running a line of weld metal around the inside, when it cools the ring shrinks and comes out quite easily with the aid of a couple of screwdrivers.
