Fetch,

You need to get the 2 snap rings off before you need the socket for the spindle nuts.

Take a look at the yellow arrows on your pics. They are pointing to where the snap wrings are.

The larger diameter one is the outer one and can be removed with a flat blade screw driver.

The inner one (around the axle shaft stub) will need a set of snap wring pliers.

I hope this helps some.

Jonathon

Thanks Jonathon! That did the trick. It was covered in rust and almost invisible. (yes, I feel pretty dumb right now) I got it off with a screwdriver but my hub is still stuck on. I tapped it with a hammer and it still didn't budge. Spanner wrench time?

The outside of the hub has splines. I am sure it's got some rust and old dry grease making it not want to slide out. I would spray your favorite penetrating oil in behind where the snap ring was and carefully try to pry it out. BTW I figured out how to add stuff to pics on the forum. I can take a screen shot of the pic and use note ology to draw on the pic and post the modified pic. Way cool. Next I just need to learn how to type with more than one finger. I just saw your PM. There are a couple of different transmissions used. It would be easier to use the whole trans assembly. Barry.

Fetch,

Post a picture of the hub in its current state so I can know how to guide you best in the next step.

It still looks like this but with the little snap ring removed. Nothing came apart after the snap ring came out, just a little dust. Should it have pulled off?

If you look at jonothans pic with the little arrow and you are holding the spindle nut socket. That part you are touching needs to slide out of the tube. Its held in by the outer ring you removed. Then the socket will fit inside.

Fetch,

Thanks for the pic posting, but what we need to see is inside the hub. What is holding it on is inside the "cavity" of the wheel hub.

BarryGMC is right on the money. You'll need to get the "locking hub mechanism" out of the wheel hub before you'll have access to the spindle nuts.

Take a second look at the pictures I put the arrow on. I'm not familiar with the style locking hubs you have, but you might possibly need to also remove the snap ring that's on the axle shaft itself.

Take a look inside the hub cavity and see if you can spot another snap ring. It will be about the diameter of 50 cent piece. Wipe the grease out of it and see if you can't see one near the center where the axle shaft is sticking through.

Take a look at this pic. This groove where the screwdriver is pointing is where you need to look at the center of the hub to make sure the snap ring is removed.

Normally you need to remove both of them to get the locking hubs all the way out. You've got the large one, now we need to make sure you got the small one.

Take a peek inside the hub and see if you can see it. I drew some things on one of your pictures again. The circle identifies the outer axle shaft. The arrow is pointing to where the snap ring will be.

I can't seem to pry it apart. I will soak it in PB Blaster today and give it another shot

Thanks Jonathon. That was the first snap ring that I got off with my unknown-till-then snap-ring pliers. Total rings so far are two. Is there another one in there?
