When I swap axles or wheel bearings, all I take off is the two strut bolts and let the knuckle hang down. The axle can be pushed out and removed and then the wheel bearing. I have only had to replace a couple of wheel bearings in hundreds of thousands of miles. Axles much more often due to ripped outer boots. It's a tight fit but I have done it close to a dozen times. I don't remove the tie rod.
