It's not hard at all mate,about 45 mins work if you've got some decent tools.Take the calliper and disk off,undo the drive shaft nut ,take the pinch bolt out of the bottom ball joint and lever out of the hub,slide the drive shaft out of the hub ,undo the pinch bolt from the bottom of the damper and tap the hub off,(probably be tight on there,use wd40).Piece of cake from there,just a bit of bench work swapping the races.when doing the drive shaft nut back up,to make sure you dont over tighten it,use a pair of mole grips instead of a socket,tighten it as much as you can with the mole grips to set the bearing, then slacken it back off and re-tighten.don't forget the split pin!
