if you are mechanical you can do it, it is not very hard, but you need the right tools,1, remove the hub cap and loosen the axle nut on the hub 2, jack up the car and block it so it will not fall also block the back wheels so it will not drift,3, remove the wheel and axle nut, put the car in neutral so you will be able to spin the hub,4, remove the brake caliber wire it up so as not to brake the rubber hose, and remove the rotor,5, next you will need a heave piece of brass or a 4x4 wood block, using the brass or the wood as a buffer take a hammer and hit the axle that is sticking out, all you need to do is brake it loose,6, next using the right socket find the bolts buy turning the hub and looking Thur the big hole in the hub there should be 3 bolts ether plug Allen or torx there are going to be really tight, brake them loose and remove them7, using a sharp chisel work on tapping with a hammer around where the back of the hub and the bracket are it will take some time and work but it will separate,8, after you have remove it wire brush the bracket to remove all rust and dirt ,8, then reinstall the new wheel bearing hub assemble and all the other parts in revers order of the way that they came off, you had better allow 2 to 5 hours for this if you do it your self, it usually takes me 30 to 50 minutes, but i have done hundreds of them.

On your daytona the wheel bearings come complete in a hub assembly (BCA NATIONAL # 513075) . You can do this a home with ease. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you DO NOT overtorque the mounting bolts, because you will mash the bearings against the housing.

I think those bearings are pressed in, you'll need professional help, probably around $120 help for both of them

If you don't know what you're doing, you can kill yourself. Take it to a mechanic.
