Well, for anyone interested I finally finished the job! Car runs great once again.
It took 2 nights of soaking in Liquid Wrench and a pair of vice grips to disconnect the parking brake line, but in the end it came out. I took the entire bearing carrier to the dealer to press out the old bearing, press in the new bearing and then reinsert the hub.
Putting everything back together was much faster than taking it apart. Now that I know what to do, I think I would do a bearing again but I also know my limitations.
Very difficult and frustrating job, but rewarding in the end. You certainly learn a heck of a lot about your car.
