right, after a bit of research i think the circlip holding the axle into the tripple roller assembly has came off and the shaft is lying loose in the boot.

does this sound about right

Yes that sounds right!

And to undo the bolts put 2 wheel bolts back in the hub and use a breaker bar to hold the hub while you crack off the bolts. Will need an extra pair of hands though.
