I second Karl's vote of Thanks! That was a very descriptive post.
I am still in the planning stages and have been studying pdf 35-115 and have a few questions (as I always do) ;-)
After I unbolt the things you suggested (lower shock absorber mount and spring link bearing in the wheel carrier, lower spring link), I think my next steps would be: unbolt the axle from the brake side of things, remove the caliper and hang it and remove the brake rotor. Next, it looks like I remove the rotor, then unbolt the emergency brake parts and cable and the brake backing plate. Then it looks like I disconnect the 4 or 5 fasteners which will allow removal of the bearing carrier. I can then take the bearing carrier to a suspension shop who will R&R the bearing?
Is that the basics? It's been a while since I had a wheel off and even longer since I replaced rear brake pads but after seeing the diagrams in the pdf's I remember the complexity of the bearing carrier! Once I have disturbed all these fasteners, I would think I will need a rear wheel alignment as well...
Anyway, I know I glossed over some of the details - which often are very difficult - but I hope I am getting close?
