I need to figure out which one needs to be replaced, so I wanted to know if there are any differences?

Are you talking about the front wheel bearings or the rears. In the case of the fronts they are pressed into the hub assembly and usually the hubs are replaced as a unit.

If I replace the front bearings hub assembly will I have to use a machine press? You got any idea how to replace them?

I watched a video by chrisfix on bearings that are not pressed specifically this one:

Will the process be anything like this?

The front are pressed in and the rear are sold as part of a bolt-on assembly. For the fronts, get a Front Wheel Bearing Kit similar to the Astro Pneumatic Tool 78825. For the rear, you may need a slide hammer if the bearing is seized in.

First figure out which bearing needs replacing. If the front, this may help.
