the rears really aren't much more difficult than the fronts. if you have the SIR tool & can do the fronts, you can do the rears. the trick to simplifying the rears is tooling related. if you have a base boxster, the axle bolts are shielded by the CV boots & are tough to get at. order a set of LONG hex sockets. you need a 6mm hex key socket that's about 5" long. i got mine from harbor freight. you also need a 32mm socket for the axle nut.
BTW, the SIR tool requirements are identical front to rear. in fact, the carriers are identical parts on the base boxster. the S uses a slightly larger bearing, but the standard SIR kit for the boxster will work fine on that as well.
if you do the rears, be sure to clean the axle bolts with brake cleaner & use some red loctite. the passenger side has a tendency to unscrew itself.
