Need wheel bearing advice....

I might be picking up a 95 90 Quattro that needs a rear wheel bearing. I know on my 96 A4 that they were a pain to replace with out any special tools. Is this true for the 90 quattros? What is the normal procedure for replacing the bearing (if different than an A4). Thanks
