This is from memory:
reduce angle of attack, this is necessary if you are near or below crossover speed May take full aileron to maintain level flight.
Auto pilot off
Auto throttle Off
Yaw damper off
Either A or B flight controls to standby rudder.

The standby rudder PCU is stronger than either the A or B rudder PCU and can overpower a hard over PCU.
Plan 15 flap landing

Airbus driver right now. Been on the -200, -300 & -400 for a number of years.
Don't screw around with the throttles. Wrong one and you die. Besides, you need the power so you don't lose altitiude (that said don't try to hold altitude in the recovery) Switch flight controls to stby rudder and problem will go away or at least be overpowered by the stby PCU.
