<< my question is this:
i've done wheel bearings on an american car sometime ago, but they were
pulled out on a shop bench and the whole affair was quite simple.
are there any things i need to be aware of when attempting this with
limited tools in the parking lot of my apartment complex?
any special MGB rules of thumb?
I know i have to do the front, but i figure i might as well do rear

The front is very straight forward, no problem at all. The major hassle with
the rear is getting the right socket, big enough and yet thin-walled enough
to get into the hub. After I got the right socket --acquiring along the way
quite a selection of large sockets-- I then discovered the darn nut was
frozen, and I had to take it to a professional, who swore blue thunder about
how much trouble the thing caused him.
But, according to the book, the rear is no problem either, once you get it
off.
