Saxo - Stub Axle Thread - Carl2

Any idea how easy it is to change the rear stub axle /pin on a 99 saxo with 3 stud drums?

I don't want to change the whole axle as a lot of people do. I,m in no rush its just that when I tightened up the nut it felt a bit tighter than usual on the last turn. So I want to be prepared when I next have to disturb it, just in case. I'm guessing the pin is pressed into the swing arm? I'm also guessing they probably rust in place?

They would say that wouldn't they. Thats why I prefer to ask people on this site. I guess the pin's simply pressed in so it should press out. Are Haynes still called workshop manual's? perhaps they should change their name to DIY manual's.
