Need to change this bearing, are these ok to do at home or a nightmare to get the old bearing out like the ones were on my focus?!

Don't know this particular vehicle, but if the problem is removing the outer part of the bearing from the hub, this can usually be achieved by running a ring of weld metal around the inside with an arc welder, when it cools the bearing will shrink and should be able to be removed fairly easily.

thanks Peter, i cant afford for the van to be off the road as it costs me dearly. those Focus ones of mine were a nightmare!

You should find there is a slot or two in the casting, so you can use a thin punch to knock the old bearing out. it should be simple.
