Hello, I have the car listed above AWD. Does the rear bearing come in an assembly? Or do I have to press the bearings out? Can I just buy the assembly with the bearing pressed in already?

Bummer, yep you need to pressure the bearing out. This video will help, and I have included how the job is done for your car. The car is different, but the procedure is the same.
