For me getting the inner race off after pulling the hub was the hardest part. Followed by the fiddly reassembly of the parking brake shoes ..

For me, the hardest part was removing the hub... but just thinking about, it gave me back pain LOL

Seriously, it depends on the tools you have access to.

I "rented" a 5lb sledge hammer from Autozone and ended buying a bearing removal tool from HF.

But if you remove the drive shaft, you can leave the bearing carrier in place (without messing around with the parking break cable).
