79 f150 4wd brake rotor removal warn hub

I'm hoping someone can help.
I'm replacing the front brake rotors. I have Warn manual hubs. So far I have
removed wheel, caliper, and hub control.
Now that I can see inside, there is a snap ring and have removed. Can someone tell me how to proceed from here. I am a greenhorn, so let me get that out of the way. Step by step would help, and I can take pictures if that helps. Please!

Thanks!

Thanks 'Nice' and 'Physics'. That helped alot. I had removed the snap ring off the axle, but did not see the ring hiding at the edge of the hub. I ended up going down to Schucks to get the spindle nut remover. Got hung up on the "washer" between the 2 lock nuts, finally figured out it comes straight off, kept trying to turn it. Got the bearings repacked, new rotors are on, then ran out of time. All I've got left is the new calipers and pads, bleed the brakes, and I'm home free. (Did I just hex myself?) I'm quite excited, there is nothing like working thru a problem. I would not hesitate to do it again now that I know whats in there. Bummer that between 3 manuals, none of them want to talk about how to do it. Thanks again!

Yeah there weren't any pictures in my Haynes, and nowhere until I checked on here was there any mention of that ring hiding in the groove in the hub housing. My hub was so greasy and dirty and rusty that I couldn't see the groove in there with that ring. This forum really helps.
