    Hi ,the pin that goes through the hub and the hub nut screws onto how do I remove it ? I have an axle to put on but the threads are a bit damaged and the hub nut wont go on ,my old axle pins are good so how do I remove them ?

    cheers

    basically hit them on the front of them so they push out the back of the trailing arm.

    I'd put a nut over the end of the thread to try and protect the thread/end of it

    No,

    there's a guide on 106owners but it's down at the moment.

    As you can see:http://www.imaxle.co.uk/catalog/outer-stub-pin-saxo

    it's just a spline and a press fit

    +1, put an old hub nut on and assault it with much whackage
