The bearings are pressed into the knuckle so you have to remove the knuckle and then press out the hub (wheel studs) and then remove the clip and press out the bearing cant do it unless you have a 10 tonne press

There is a detailed description of how to do this at the following URL. It is for a Saturn SL2, but should be similar for your Saturn Vue.http://www.ehow.com/how_5014553_replace-wheel-bearings-saturn-sl.html
how do you change front wheel bearing for 420 rancher
I believe this are done with a press. You have have to remove the wheel hub and take it to a machine shop to have the old one pressed out and the new one pressed in.
Do I need any special tools to replace front wheel bearings on a Saturn 2002 L200?Also what is the procedure for doing so?
When you change rotor or main ball joint, or when they get worn.
are you talking about the front or back? the back bearings are a non serviceable part, the in order to change the bearings u need to change the hub, the front bearings can be separated, but chances are if you have to change your hub, bearings will have to be changed also, you will damage the bearings trying to remove them and put them back in, so my answer is yes. get the parts yourself from ecstuning.com and you will save alot of money over dealer or most shops.
