Why would you remove the halfshaft when changing the wheelbearing? (the only side you need to remove is the spindle going in to the hub itself.)
Tie-rod end
axle nut (locking spindle nut.. do not re use this.. use a new one.. torque to 216ft/lbs)
brake caliper
rotor
spindle from the back side of the hub.
remove the hub from the strut
take it in for the bearing to be pressed out, and a new one pressed in..
reverse
Check out the how-to under duratec maintenance, under my how-to post if needed.
