Default rear main seal leak

The rear main seal needs replacement on my new to me 2K A4. Looks to be a PITA to replace, I assume the entire torque tube has to come out? Car has 111,111 miles on it (no kidding, I got a pic), what would be good things to replace while I am in there?

Rear cover, not just seal, torque tube guibos or whatever they are called and bearings. I'm sure there is some more but those are the main ones I can remember right off.

I had my transmission overhauled since they had to drop it anyway. Had around 120,000 miles on it. Glad I did, made a big difference.
