Original poster returning to the topic! The hub came apart easily and the stub of the half shaft (with key) came with it. now the interesting bit!
The half shaft had been drilled and tapped and a piece (I think) of studding screwed into the half shaft to join the pieces! I won't be sure until I remove the other end of the shaft from the diff. The stud/bolt had snapped (Surprise, surprise!)
I will post pictures when I have the shaft out. The stub separated easily & the tapers & key/keyway were in good order.
Amazingly the bearing is perfect. No sign of seal nor gasket......
The nearside hub also came apart easily & seems to be in good condition.
Now to take the broken shaft out. I have a spare that I Hope may be the right pattern.....
