Removing locking hubs

I have a 79 F150 4x4 with the locking hubs, (same as warn standard) I get the cap off, I get the lock ring off, I get the hold down screw out. The outer ring that the screw holds in and spring come out. Then nothing else. What is the next step? I don't see a lock nut or anything else but the rest of the old hub isn't coming out.

Like at the base of the hub body not on the axle spindle? *I bought premium hubs which are sealed bodies. Nothing about them is the same.

it goes around the inside of the hub nothing to do with the spindle. if i was a super computer wiz like some of the guys here i would paste up a pic but by the time i found one you'd already be done. chiltons have a pretty good diagram. maybe a better way to explain it is, it pushes out around the inside of the hub

it will be covered in ALOT of grease so you might want to spray it down with some brake cleaner to make it easier to see.
