In my limited experience, they are straightforward until they are not. Any issues I've had I couldn't know about until I started the job. For pull out taps, they usually have a counterweight that hangs down inside the back of the unit, so making sure there is space for that would be my first check.

Random size connectors seems to be the main ball ache. Make sure you start early enough that you've got time to get to somewhere selling plumbing supplies halfway through the job.

our kitchen tap has worked it's way loose to the point i think it's nearly about to fall off the sink.
I want to replace with one that has a pull out hose, but a cheap amazon job for now.
i assume swapping them is fairly straight forward but any pitfalls i should be wary of (weird non standard/ mismatching sizes i should check for on connectors, special tools i'll need to tighten etc)
it's a real faff getting to it as the sink cupboard door opens so it gets in the way of accessing the part you need (esp when you're a fat lump like me) so i'll need to remove it so i'd rather just get the bits and only have to clear out the cupboard and do it all once if i can.
