Spring plate covers

Hi
Need to change mine as a bit corroded, do they simply unbolt and a straight forward swap ?

Yep, bolt off, bolt on - easy as!

I'd be slightly cautious of corrosion around the bolts though as I had 2 break. (the last 2 after doing both sides). Make sure you use penetrating/releasing fluid and especially squirt some around the back of the flange where the bolts poke through.

Also, as a word of caution, there is a lot of tension in this area and the spring plates only have a very small lip to sit on.

I'd suggest you support the van on stands and take the things off carefully, keeping your fingers and toes well clear. Better to be safe than sorry!
