Do I need to worry about TDC?

No, but once the pump is out, you could turn the crank (clockwise) a bit if the cam lobe is pointing up, which will make refitting it easier.

Didn't worry about TDC. The electrical connectors were a bit stiff but came off no problem with a pick. The rest of the parts came off fairly easy as per the guide. Definitely glad it had no banjo!!
It didn't take too much force to put it back on, hand started all the fixings and hand tight all the bolts once it's seated down.

Looking at the state of the follower I don't think it's ever been changed, just hope there isn't any lasting effects on the top end.
