Removing stub axle

Pug 106 year 1995 I need to remove the rear off side stub axle due to damaged threads. I would be most grateful if anyone can provide details of how to do this or point me in the right direction.

The Haynes manual was a waste of money

Many Thanks

There is an hexagonal hole for a 11 or 12mm allen key on the rear face of the stub axle. Is this to lock the stub axle in position in any way? Or are we saying it's just on a taper?

I have ordered the TIS manual but it won't be here for a few days.

Job done. Quick tap with a hammer and out she comes. It's just on a spline

Many Thanks Nigel

You need to hit it with a hammer and a drift, preferably a copper drift. I actually use a metal drift, a cut down rocker shaft, and a good large hammer. I put the hub nut back on to the stub axle, after you have removed the drum, not all the way, just to protect the threads. In your case I guess you don't need to do that! If you are renewing it, make sure the new one is exactly the same. There are a few different ones in use. AFAIK Peugeot don't sell these, but Citroen do. Always use a new nut and peen it to lock it.
