I need to adjust my front wheel bearings.

I removed the outer portion of the warn hub but I cannot get the larger snap ring off. Any suggestions?


I watched a couple videos but I cannot get anything under it.

I use an Xacto knife and a small flat screwdriver. Find the end of the ring, slide the knife tip under it about a 1/4" from end, and flip out with screwdriver. Best way I've found over the years. Good luck.

Thin blade screw driver or a pick works well and faster than snap-ring pliers.

I got it. I went back out and it came out on the first try.
