Straight forward. Cant remember exactly as it was a good few years ago but it was around 4 allen key bolts to undo and that's it.

take the wheel off and pop the dust cap off the centre, remove the bolt, either a 30 or 32mm, hit the drum with a hammer and remove the drum,once its off at the back of the axle theres 4 bolts im sure there e torq bolts, unplug the abs sensor if you have abs and undo the bolts and remove

Clean the bolts with a wire brush and a bit wd40 before you start.
They're male torq heads and will be all rusty. Make sure you dont put a socket on that's too big or you'll round them off. Put the right socket on and tap it on so it's snug before you remove.
I did this just last month when replacing the rear beam on a corsa b and swapping all the rear brakes over.
I have 2 good stub axles and bearings here ifyou want one. £12 posted.
