This is a pretty big job. Everything on the knuckle has to be removed and the bearing pressed out at a machine shop. On my car, the hub on one side was also bad, and that had to be replaced in addition to the bearing. Figure 1.5 to 2 hours to get the knuckle out and the same to get it back in.
You will need a 18mm impact socket and a deep well 18mm impact socket, plus two 1/2 inch breaker bars to get the two strut bolts and the top ball joint bolt out. The brake calipers will require a 7mm Allen wrench to get the caliper pins out.
