auto locking hub

I can't get my auto locking hub off. I take the clip off and then try to pull the locking hub it won't come out. Any help.

Get a rubber mallet and hit the lockout up and down and side to side. You will have to wiggle it out.

x2 on that. There's an oring on there, too, that might be sticking or getting bound up a bit. Little rocking up-down-side should free it up.

If it hasn't been off in a while, it's just a pain. Hard to grab, real awkward. Rubber mallet up down side to side. It'll budge eventually.
