Default v5 front hub change advice

My front wheel bearing has gone and I am going to just swap the whole hub.
Is there anything I need to know before I attempt it.
My mechanic didn't want to just change the bearing as he said the flange could be worn and the new bearing could go again. Cheers.

Pretty straight forward job, I'd mark up I think the bottom bolt, it will have marks on it so you know it's in the right place when you tighten it back up as it adjusts the camber angle.

Top bolt is the camber bolt. Make sure to mark it (and the strut) with a punch before removal so it can be put back in the same place
