Undo hub nut, then the bottom ball joint needs to be seperated, once you have done this you can swing the arm off the outer end of the shaft.

Once the hub is clear the shaft should just pull out.

piece of pee for me , broke 1 clean in half last year
trailor to sponsors garage , off trailor, he fixes it (10 minutes) and i go home

looks an easy enough job for someone who knows 1 end of a screwdriver to the other though (not me,lol)
