Tools needed for a 4x4 bearing swap (not chevy:()

I am flying out to Utah and picking up a Isuzu Trooper this week. I know its not a chevy but it was free. It needs brakes and wheel bearings. I have been reading up on the Chilton's manual and it said that I need

Bearing race installer

slide hammer

brass drift

seal install tool

Do I need all this or can I get by with out them? Any help is greatly appreciated...this will be my first 4x4...I wanted a 69-72 Blazer...but this will have to do in the meantime. And where in the heck to you get this stuff...all I can think of is harbor freight.

Re: Tools needed for a 4x4 bearing swap (not chevy:()

Never worked on one of those.But,I do bearings with a hammer,drift punch,and blocks of wood.

Drift punch:remove bearings and install once bearing sits flush with hub.

Wood:2 pcs under hub to allow space for bearing to drop.And,one to install seal.

Hammer:in place of rock
