It IS a pain in the neck, mostly finding the little ring with loops to release in all the grease... apart from that it isn't too difficult with a proper hub puller. The disks usually come off eventually...
Best test for wheel bearing wear is to put the offending end of the car on axle stands, put car in neutral and spin the wheels... if it sounds AWEFUL and you can grab the wheel either top & bottom, or side and side, and it rocks, then you need to do the bearings in a big way.
If it only rumbles a tiny bit, put it back down and drive with the stereo on for a month and try it again.
Is it worth paying someone else..? Depends if you want to spend the money and whether you like greasy hands..!
Have fun!
