Mechanical fan pulley

That badly designed fan pulley that is pressed into the a.c. compressor bracket is squeaking. I can do one of two things. Take the bracket to a shop and have them remove the old bearing and install the new one, or I could just do it myself. Thing is I don't have the press for it. Anyone know which one I need and what it'll cost?

I recently replaced the fan housing bearing on my 01 XJ.
Found all the information needed on this youtube video.

Used the same bearing and tools, it didn't take long to do.
 
Thanks. Will have to Take it to a shop since I don't have the tools but this will work

I used an inexpensive Harbor Freight ball-joint press and three-jack puller for this.
It might be cheaper to buy the tools than to have a shop do the job.
Most of my tools have paid for themselves, sometimes, the first time they are used and, many times, I get to learn a new skill. Win win.

I will have to see where the nearest harbor freight is. Thanks for this
