Instead of a slide hammer to pull the axle--turn the drum or rotor around backwards and just start the nuts on the studs--this will give you enuogh travel that you can slide the drum/rotor like a slide hammer to pull out the axle
I wouldn't recommend buying a press to do the bearings for a beginner--most places that will have the bearings will have the equipment to press them off and back on--still one of the most economical jobs to get done by pros
