    I have a peugeot 206 99 . I discovered that the nut holding the rear brake hub had been threaded and the previous owner had cut a groove in the shaft. The nut collar was then bashed into the groove to create a lock nut. I would like to replace the shaft but am unsure how to remove it . Any advice appreciated - Thanks

    Mark,

    that's not a bodged job, that's the way the Frenchies do them in the factory. Common also on Renaults. To open, tap the bent-in bit out of the groove with a punch or similar (looks like you already have that done). When re-assembling, tighten nut and bend in again using an edge, eg a not-so-sharp chisel.

    If doing both rear brakes / wheel bearings, then I'd sometimes use the nut from the left on the right hand side and vica-versa, so that a new part of the collar would be used for bending in to lock the nut.

    No need to replace the shaft, unless there is a second issue you don't mention.
