Yes can be pressed, will need a hydraulic press though as they can be a bit tight with age.

that's what I feared - just did rear rotors and pads. rotors were nicely rusted on to hubs but persuaded them off. Think I might take arms off and take them in to be done. I don't have a press

Yes, but do you have a big vice, a big hammer, a big punch and 3/4 drive selection of sockets!

You don't need a press.
You can draw it out and the new one in with a bolt & nut, some flat bar and a piece of pipe (or socket).
Or you could do the same job in 2 mins in a press.
If you take the arms in and take them into a workshop I'm sure one of the boys won't mind doing them for your for a beer or something

Yep they don't mind so much when I bring it in - I supply them with the odd 24 pack so they are pretty generous

Plus taking the other end off, travel to and from, refitting the other end.
