On the front no mate they can just be done by hand. You will need a hammer and drift to replace the cones but its quite an easy job really.

cheers have heard that they are suppossed to be pressed in.but that advice did come from a gu owner so may be the gu that require it
GU's are the same.

The rears may need to be pressed but its not a necessity
X2 with newby mate no need for a press

You sure its a squeaking sound ?? jack up the offending wheel and holding top and bottom see if you have any movement,
Squeaking isn't a word I'd use for a failing wheel bearing more of a grinding sound IMO
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
yeah not much of a grinding sound.will check out tomorrow.im hoping it isnt the bearings i suppose sqeauling at times is better way to describe.Thanks to all for the advice given so far.
Hi mate - just as an outside - not your brakes?
