And onwards to the next bit of Disco fun..
Is it really only a case of Hub off and then pull the entire drive shaft out, put it in a vice and knock the CV joint off and simply knock the new one back in (circlip replaced of course).
I'll replace the oil seal into the axle.
Then new hubs bolt back on, brake disc and caliper back on and good to go?

all seems very simple or am i missing something?

thanks guys
 
Pretty much yes, I struggled to hammer the joint off so ended up cutting it off. New one just pushes in until the circlip engages. Will have to do the hub nuts up to 490nm

How'd you get on?

Problem I had with hub nut was getting it off. Ended up using a section of scafold pole with a 1 inch drive breaker bar - I tried with a 3/4 inch and the drive bit sheared off.

Hi, when I did mine I ended up borrowing my lads DeWalt battery 1/2" drive nut gun with impact socket & it spun it off with ease as I only had a 1/2" breaker bar in my tool box & to do it up a fellow member (thank you) on here loaned me his inch drive f**k off torque wrench to do it up.

Guys, in the box with the new hubs there is a card that talks about clearing ABS codes .. is that a thing or what?

Clearing the codes has nothing to do with replacing a hub, if the fault was that particular hub and it was replaced with a good one the amigos should go out by default just the ABS light will stay on untill the vehicle exceeds 10mph. Clearing the codes after a fault was present or if the hubs were replaced as profilactic maintainance is a good move so the ECU memory to be clean as when a new fault occurs the code to be related to that particular fault not mixed with other hystorical codes to complicate things
