It would be my first go, I think I can get a local garage to press the new bearing in
Apart from that any obvious problems?

Rusty/seized nuts and bolts.
Having done one on a focus so similar, the shock bolts were very tight. Also the abs sensor is a pain to remove sometimes.

On my brothers volvo so again same setup we found we had an abs fault after fitting as the knuckle was worn so the hub and bearing would move when the hub bolt was tightened.
