Give yourself plenty of time to do it, it looks and is a reasonably simple job to do and if all goes well doesn't take too long



Some the things to watch out for are:


1) Be careful not to damage the wheel sensor.


2) The four bolts holding the backplates on can suffer from a combination of a couple of things the first is that the heads can rust to a circle and the threads can rust in.


3)The handbrake cable outer ferrule, where it fits into the backplate tube can rust solid and be a so and so to shift.


4) Take a photo of the assembly for reference if needed.


5) Be sure to torque the hub nuts correctly and re-stake them.


A little tip ref the nuts, if you re-use them you may find that when tight, the area where it was previously staked still lines up with the slot and due to the distorted metal won't give a good stake, the solution is to swap them over, O/S for N/S and vice versa, this usually gives a fresh area of metal to stake.



There are good how to threads on here, have a quick look at them.
