Good news for me, the old sensor came out without removing the hub. It had to be dug out, but the last little bit was loose and came out with a pair of tweezers, so nothing dropped in to the hub.
I then put a piece of cotton wool soaked in bearing grease in to the hole to act as a plug and then cleaned up the hole. Finally removing the cotton wool and inserting the new sensor, a quick check and the fault cleared.
Hopefully I have got away without damaging the wheel bearing (I checked the bearing for play after a test drive and it was ok, no noise and no play) or CV, but I have break down cover and if there is any problems the local garage can get it to replace.
Thanks guys, another repair completed.
