Just one bolt, Andrew. The rear control arm at the chassis end. That's it.
OK, for full disclosure, add in the five wheel studs too, removing the wheel.
With practice and a hoist, the boot-only swap, done by pulling the axle from the outer joint (with the joint still in the hub) can easily be completed in 30-minutes. I did mine on the garage floor with axle stands and jacks, and was 2 hours from ignition off to ignition on, including the clean up and two beers (after we were done).
