You will need a puller (and strong arms!) or a hydraulic press. You will also need a 35mm socket and long breaker bar to get the hub nut undone; and removing the hub from the car may not be that easy, and getting the circlip out requires patience and hard work. With deference to your age, I'd entrust it to a garage - make sure that they fit an SKF or SNR bearing though (not a £10 chinese one) - or you will have to do it again next year!
