I do not show any special tools for the rear. However, there is a puller that is required to push the axle shaft out of the front.

We don't have a manual on this specific vehicle because it is not offered in the USA, but the sister vehicle is offered here, and I attached the process for the rear hubs and front hubs below for your review.

While it calls for this tool, you don't have to have this specific one. You can use anything that will press the axle out. They just don't want you hitting the end of the axle with a hammer to get it out.

Let us know what questions you have. Thanks
