Indeed the rear axles have to be removed to do the rear bearings. Obviously this includes brake setups etc.
Front is simple, although i do suggest getting a repair manual as a guide.

You could just buy an XD manual, as they are the same car from a mechanical point of view.
I'd gladly do it but i dont have a scanner.

its rated to 1400kg the stupid thing hasn't got enough go to lift one side of teh ltd as sson as its about to lift of ground it drops down. also if i was lets say through it under teh diff or similar, teh only way to realease teh ressure is via a screw on teh body its self, so i need to climb under the car and realese it. what a joke!!!! so what teh best way to get one wheel of teh car ata a time. i have 4 axle stands and wheel chocks incase it matters no normal wheel jack though |

Use your factory jack to do one wheel at a time. I use the factory jack to do oil changes , swap tyres , takes f**k all time.
And are u sure u need wheel bearings? not a wheel allignment or a tyre balance? jack ur car up on each corner and seee if the wheel wobbles east- west, north -south,if it wobbles then u got problems and if it doesnt it could be a tyre balance u need or even a wheel alignment but i reckon u need a Balance and correct tyre pressure as u said it happens when u go over 100km/hr
