1996 Other Saturn Models Rear Axle Repair

This is pretty straight forward.A reputable repair manual can be handy in these circumstances.

After you have jacked up the car and removed the wheels, take off the drum (or, if you have discs, remove caliper and hang out of the way, then remove the disc). If you have ABS, be sure to disconnect the sensor.

There are 4 Hub-to-knuckle bolts that can be accessed thru the circular cutouts in the hub unit. Just undo these bolts and the hub will come off.

I do understand that even though this procedure is straight forward, one could still easily end up with a bloody knuckle or use inappropriate language so, take your time and relax! Good luck!
