how does the drive flange on the rear axle come off

i expected a nut to be in the center of the flange but when i had removed the prop shaft and the rubber doughnut there was the flange with a shaft sticking out of it ?

if any one can shed any light on how to get the flange off i would appreciate it cos this is doin my head in and i cant find any information on this other than a nut on the center which as the pics show aint there and i have never seen this before :doh:

You need to get puller onto centralising peg, the thingy that is poking outa flange, in behind it is a nut.
