HALP! Bearing press-in needed ASAP

Was changing my oil and rotating the tires on my sti swapped 92-x and my right rear bearing is toasted!

Called LIC and their answering machine says they'll be closed till Jan 2nd

Called AHQ and they're super busy tomorrow and will try to fit it in, but no guarantees.

Supposed to be in Vegas for NYE.

Hub is most likely toast too, but I have a spare hub assembly. Only catch is fedex dropped it and one of the studs came up and broke the abs ring. I'd be really grateful if someone could pop out the hub of the good unit, and the bad unit, swap the rings over, and press in new bearings on the good hub.

I'd be bringing everything in unassembled and ready to press in/out.

You can 'press' the bearings in by tapping them with a hammer and using a piece of wood as an intermediary, just keep moving the piece of wood in a star pattern to get it going then continue around in a circle.

Then again I've never pressed hub bearings in this matter, have done it on a few quad engines and a dirtbike with no issues.
