Sounds like you have a loose/worn wheel hub. There should be 1 or 2 set screws on the hub. Take them out and see if the hub will just slide off. You need to inspect the key and axle keyway for damage.

There should be two set screws with locking nuts to position the hub on your axle.  If they have been loose for a while I would suggest removing and inspecting the hub and axle key.

Thanks for your  reply I have taken the wheel off and the hub/wheel flange is sliding on the axle shaft the set pin is very tight im afraid it might shear with more effort

Take the hub off and inspect the  hub innards and the axle. Sounds like something is damaged
