I need new wheel bearings too, but thats up front. If you had bearing issues in the back, wouldnt the CV joints need replacing?

negative,the axles just pop out, to do the rear like you mention, you will have to pull the entired Rear trailing arm, that includes the hub, the bearing etc.

only draw back of doing this is needing a 4-wheel alignment after doing the swap
