i,m working on an 86 full size bronco, i need to get the front hubs off to change the u- joints on the axle shafts. I can't get the hub locks out. I took the cap with the six allen screws off and the inner ring and spring. The manual say's the hubs should come right out, or use a puller. I put some tension on them with a puller but they won't come out. I took the snap ring off is there another retainer that i forgot? TIM

look for a snap ring on the edge of the stub shaft, that along with the larger snap ring in the edge of the hub itself will need to be removed. I use a couple of the allen bolts screwed in across from each other to help pull it out, and yes, sometimes they can be a bit stiff. Make sure both the snap rings are out and wiggle the assy a bit, it will come out.

Its hard the see with the grease and really nothing to grab on to either, I used a small pick to get mine out.
