The main problem when changing the tap is that the plastic becomes very brittle and breaks leaving the broken tubes in the end of the hoses, these can be difficult to get out without little pieces falling into the hoses. Anyway, that was my experience when I changed mine last week.
Also the plastic bracket that holds the tap in place can easily break.
