Pull the rear axles, remove axle seal. There is a special bearing removal tool that attaches to a slide hammer. Insert tool thru center of bearing and use slide hammer to pull out. Use old bearing against new bearing and tap in with hammer

none really, metric wrenches or sockets, a breaker bar, w jack and jack stands, flat blade screw driver, and a pair of needle nose pliers, to remove the drum holder to get at the wheel bearing assembly.
remove tire then locking washers, remove rotor, using breaker bar, loosen bolt then remove the abs pick up, it is a 10 mm socket, put out of the way, and then remove the bolts, you might have to use a hammer to get wheel bearing to come free from housing.

reverse the procedure to install

3-Series (Except M3, M Roadster, M Coupe, 318ti & Z3)

1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel(s).
2. Remove axle shaft. See appropriate AXLE SHAFTS article.
3. Remove brake disc. See BRAKE DISC .
4. Screw special tool (33 2 116) onto drive flange with wheel studs. Drive out drive flange with special tool (33 4 201/202/203). See Fig. 33.
5. If necessary, pull off bearing inner race using special tool (00 7 500) and a thrust piece. See Fig. 34.
6. It may be necessary to remove inner wheel bearing race with the following procedure:

• Detach wheel bearing inner race with special tool (33 4 400) through groove in bearing inner race.
• According to outside diameter of bearing inner race, use special tool 33 4 401 with: 33 4 405 for dia. 45-51 mm, 33 4 406 for dia. 50-55 mm and 33 4 407 for dia. 55-61 mm in groove. See Fig. 35.
• Tension special tool 33 4 401 with wrenches 33 4 403 and 33 4 404 until it can still just be turned in groove. See Fig. 36 .
• Screw in special tool 33 4 402. Detach inner bearing race.

7. Remove circlip. See Fig. 37 .
8. Remove wheel bearing with special tool 33 4 031/ 041/ 042/ 043/ 045. See Fig. 38 .

CAUTION: Do not reuse old wheel bearing.

9. Draw in new wheel bearing with special tool 33 4 041/ 042/ 043/ 047. For inner bearing race 42 mm use special tool 33 4 049 and for 39 mm use 33 4 046. See Fig. 39 .
10. Installation is reverse of removal.
11. Replace stretched or damaged circlip. Ensure correct seating.
12. Pull in drive flange using special tool 33 4 041/ 042/ 043/ 045/ 048. See Fig. 40 .
13. Install brake disc.
14. Install axle shaft.

Axle Shaft Bearing & Seal Removal & Installation To Remove:

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
2. Remove the axle shaft.
3. If replacing only the seal, remove the seal using a suitable seal removal tool.
4. If replacing the seal and bearing on the 8.6 inch axle, install the slide hammer and adapter behind the bearing and pull out the bearing and seal together.
5. If replacing the rear axle shaft seal and the bearing on the 9.75 inch axle, install the J 29712 or equivalent bearing puller into the axle housing behind the axle bearing.
6. Remove the axle shaft seal and the bearing by tightening the nut on the J 29712 bearing puller.

Use a slide hammer, bearing puller and adapter to remove the old axle bearing

To Install:

1. Install the axle shaft bearing using a suitable size driver. Drive the bearing into the housing until the tool bottoms against the tube.
2. Lubricate the seal lip and install the seal with a suitable seal driver. Make sure the seal is fully seated in the axle tube.
3. Install the axle shaft.
4. Fill the rear axle with the correct lubricant.
5. Lower the vehicle.

yes, after the rear axle is removed you have to use a large slide hammer with a special attachment on the end to get it out and the proper bearing driver to install the new one they are a very tight press fit into the housing

Compare to a rear wheel drive care, the bearings are totally different from the tapered style from the old days. Those where much easier to remove and don't require special tools. FWD bearings have high temp grease which is thicker and doesn't breakdown into a soupy state when it gets hot.

• You'll need an air hammer and the correct sizes of metric sockets
• You need to remove the CV joint nut which is torqued at least 120lbs psi on the spline part
• You'll need a long 1/2" breaker bar for leverage
  
• You'll also need a 1/2" torque wrench
• At least a 10 ton hydraulic bench press and corresponding flanges to push out the old bearing
• If you have a bearing tool you might get away without a press
• Must have factory manual with torque specs
• If you don't have all of the above mentioned tools then I'd suggest to forget the idea doing it on your own, you'll need tons of power just to start the bearing out of the wheel bearing housing (carrier).
