Sorry about that, if it's the snap ring on the axle your talking about you should be able to see it and pop it off using the two screwdriver's.

This clip is further inside the hub, just follow the splines on the axle and you'll see a c-clip. Once you pop the clip off there should be 3 washers, slide those out and now you can slide the cam assembly out. Once that is out you'll see a retaining key that holds the wheel retainer nut. Get the key out with needlenose pliers and then you'll need a 2 1/2 inch socket to take the nut out.
Just out of curiosity, did you get the conversion kit? This kit consists of 4 nuts and 2 lock rings. Let me know. Sorry for the slow response, computer acting up.

There you go!, pictures at this site from bigric explains better than words. Good job bigric.
Tidybowl, if that locknut pictured is the same one you have then you don't need that conversion kit.
