I did the right rear on wife's car without taking down the suspension by using a couple wobble extensions to get around the end of the axle. I used a 1/2" breaker bar to just get the bolts started and then I have a special 3/8" ratchet with two flex joints it literally goes around corners and worked perfectly to finish removing the bolts.

To install the bolts I cut slots in the end of the bolts to turn them into screws and used an impact driver to turn them in from the opposite end they got snug enough I could reverse the removal process and only needed a quarter turn to torque them

I used a slide hammer and it wasn't 10# it may have been only 5, but if somebody else has the same problem you can add anything heavy to the slide to improve the knock. Eg hold a 4# hammer behind the slide of a 5# slide hammer and suddenly you have a 9# slide hammer.

When doing the front bearing I use longer bolts through the lug threads and some metal plates behind. It destroys the dust cap so I just get a new one when I buy the bearing. Helps me keep track of which bearings I've done as a bonus.
