I've looked into doing this job myself. The wheel bearing kit for my 2004 nissan micra has a circlip and a hub nut with it, all good so far.
Just thought though, If I take off the hub, what's the chances of me damaging anything? such as damaging other parts, brake cylinder seals, tearing the shoes off etc...
The reason I ask is, years ago I had my confidence knocked witht a Vauxhall Nova, after replacing the shoes, I had inadvertantly damaged the seals on the brake cylinders, which ended up locking the wheels through brake fluid contaminated shoes, and ended up paying a garage to sort it out.
