Now, I heard a na$ty rumour that the wheel bearings may need replacing
if one pulls the driveshaft out of it.  Will I need to do this?  The wheel
bearings are only a year old, and at a hundred bucks a shot--

Not true. The driveshaft is carried by the hub, which in turn
is carried by the bearing. Only if you remove the hub would
you need to replace the bearing, which self-destructs in the
process.
