heya all, picked up new rear wheel bearing kit have never done this before but im sure i can manage it. ive done wheel bearings on trucks at work but could be different on my sierra..

do the bearings need to be hydraulicly pressed off and new ones press back on? as thats what ive been told???

Yes you will have to pull/push them off using a press or really long pair of pullers. If the bearing slides off by hand, theres something wrong.
