Ok so i have pressed out the hubs on both the knuckles, and now i have the bearing, when i press out the old bearing do i need to press in the hub into the new bearing? I hope it fits in without needing to be pressed in.

Yeah, the new one will have to be pressed in. You always can hit them in w/a hammer and a piece of wood between it. Just make sure it goes in straight.

yeah man i pressed them out with a socket, lol but when i pressed them in the bearing wanted to split so it became loose, now im not going to hammer it more and going to get it pressed in the right way.

Using a hammer seperates the bearing and damages it. In the best case senerio you'll only get a hum coming from the wheels.
