If I purchase a rear wheel hub/bearing assembly with the bearing installed, do I need to press anything?

It looks like once you remove the axle nut, the hub just slides off much like the front wheel bearing.

Or am I having a fantasy?
 






Never mind. I'm not doing it. Watched a couple of videos; this is not for me.
 






It's a couple of hours job. I removed the knuckle and took it to a shop with a press, then they swap the bearings and then I take it back home and put it back together.

The fronts are way easier.
 






Yeah, I did the fronts, but the rears were out of my zone, so I had someone do it.
