So I am in the process of replacing the rear bearings. I was following the pelican DIY but I ended up having to remove the axel to get the bolt off the lower control arm.
I also spent 1.5 hours just trying to figure out how to get the parking brake cable off.
Then it was another hour trying to line up the carrier on the press.

Perhaps I'll just pull the axel off the other side and just pull it that way without removing the carrier.
