Technician A is correct because in many front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles, the front-wheel bearings are indeed pressed into the steering knuckle, requiring a press to remove and install them. Technician B is also correct because the rear-wheel bearings on a typical FWD car are often designed similarly to those on rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles, where the bearings can either be pressed into the hub or serviced as a hub assembly, making both statements true.
