Stupid question. Wheel bearing replacement DIY?

Hello guys,

I'm looking to replace my front wheel bearings. Any DIY out there? I looked at workshop manuals, but the pictures and the use of "bmw special tools" throws me off.

Any DIY articles/advice appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

I had my front end apart this winter and it was identical to this DIY.

I would take it to a shop for wheel bearings. Too much work for DIY without proper tools.
