What is the procedure to remove it ive had a quick look and can see the three bolts at gearbox end, what about the wheel end?

is it a big job?

need to drain gearbox oil from plug underneath, then undo road bolts and hub nut and jack up the car.

undo the wheel fully and remove it,do the same with the hub nut. then undo the 3 bolts holding the driveshaft into the differential that you are on about. then undo the top strut to hub bolt and loosen the lower one. should then be able to pull the shaft out of the back of the hub, if there isnt enough clearance may have to do split the ball joint and remove the entire hub. but provided nothings rusted tight etc it a max hour job i'd say for someone with a bit of mechanical knowledge
