Same here dont have a td5 but when my bearing failed on my 300tdi it was at motorway speed.... it welded itself to the stub axle and was much easier to replace the whole stub axle, but i should imagine if you are just changing a noisy bearing then its just a simple press jobby, dont quote me though

As far as I'm aware you need to change the whole hub as you can't buy the bearings on there own as they are not the same as the 300tdi.
Hi
If you can find the correct bearing then yes you could just push it out and push the new one in. But it is not a standard bearing that is fitted to the Td5 Discovery because the ABS ring is incorparated into the bearing. And I think you can't get the correct bearing on it's own.
If you were to modify it to take another type of bearing you would lose your ABS/Traction control and the ABS light would stay on.
Hope this helps.
