I'd advise you not to mess with the rear wheel bearings. It's a 
rather big job with IRS and an even bigger job with swing axle, but 
in either case, it's more work than it's worth. Those bearings seldom
fail, nor do their seals.

And, yes, you really don't want to get too involved with trying to 
get the tranny with swing axles out of the car. That's a LOT of work 
that you should leave for a time when it's really necessary. And it's
likely to never be necessary.
