Basically is there and easy enough backyard method to save some money ? The dealer has the special ram tool for this , yes ? So the hub/knuckle doesn’t have to come off the car. No need to do an alignment that way too I’d guess. But what can a thrifty guy like myself do to get around the dealer? Thanks. And the lady at the service counter said it’s around $200 for the parts. Really ? Their dealership also has one of the nations highest volume Subaru online parts websites. By their website I see it more like $54 in parts. Forget about labor here in the money belt. They want like $500 in labor and they admit they have the ram/press tool to make it a half hour job or so. If I spent the money it wouldn’t kill me. But I can’t help myself still. Age has given me lots of messages but my thick skull shields me.

There's tons of cheap screw press kits available now. Just 10 seconds on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Orion-Motor-Tech-Replacement-Automotive/dp/B01FLVOAZI

Good used hub will fix it all. www.car-parts.com will give you a good idea on $$ and availability. Pick one from a rust free area.
