Mark,
Because you need to remove the hub to take it to a garage have the bearing pressed in/out, and just dropping the hub/strut assembly off as one unit is easier than fighting to get the strut out of the hub for ages!
Removing hub/strut together just needs the top nut and 3 13mm bolts removing
Removing the hub from the strut requires an hour of hammering with a BFO hammer and making your arm ache
Thats just how I would do it anyway!
