Help! Trying to remove locking hub mechanism

[BGBronco]

I'm trying to remove my locking hub mechanism. Having the same issue on both sides. I removed the inner snap ring but am unable to get to the ouster snap ring or have some other issue. Thank you!

Found the pesky outer ring. Problem Solved!

That one is hard to see with some aftermarket hubs like that. Glad you got it figured out.

Not only is it difficult to see when covered in grease, it's a nightmare to get out. Picks slip off, pliers won't fit, snaps back in at the most inopportune time. Yeesh. Glad you got it figured out.

Status update: Progress, some it satisfying.

Those drums look just like mine did when i finally got them off. Nice to have those rivets digging in to stop things! But I guess if they were easier to get to, they might get changed more frequently!

Glad it's not just me.

Try doing it at the junkyard when trying to get a set of hubs and rotors for a disc conversion. Karma at it's best

I'd say it's time to start your disk brake conversion.

getting to the point where it's [somewhat] satisfying.
