I did a rear bearing without any suspension or drive shaft disassembly. If memory serves I may have had to replace a dust shield but that might have been front.

The favorite tips:

1) cut a slot in the tip of the E torx bolts to remove/install from the outside. I had to break the bolt loose from under but 95% of the work was done with a flat blade bit in my Impact screw driver.

2) to break the bolts loose I used two wobble extensions. I think I first loosened the axle nut and pushed the cv in an inch or so to make room for the Etorx socket.

I'll be doing that bearing swap one more time as I've replaced 3/4 of wife's bearings and want to preemptive strike on that last one.
