You probably can, but then you'd need an hydraulic press to get the new one into the hub ... plus the fun of getting the old one out ...
This isn't the cheapest but shows a pic .. suggests you get the hub assembly, new hub nut and cover:
www.carparts4less.co.u...9fd&000370
You'll need a hub puller to get the old one off and it's highly likely the inner bearing race will stay on the stub axle .. and then you'll need an angle grinder to cut it away to the point when you can crack it so it comes off. (That's how I did one on my Alfa earlier this year).

No ... which is why I said probably ... what about checking something like the SKF website?
I think most garages take the easy option ... complete hub assembly ... less hassle, less time, ...
