Yes,you will need to have the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in. The dealer should be able to do that for a minimal charge.

Some people try to beat them in but I do not recommend that. If the bearing gets a little off center it will mess the hub up. I've changed a lot of these and always used a press. If you take the hub off and to any automotive shop they can press the old ones out and new ones in in a few mins.
