no, we are trying to remove the hub, we found the large snap ring, but as I can see it's easy to install, but removal wasn't really thought of. How does it come out. It's not going well

I use a tiny screwdriver, works well, then the hub tool.

the big inner snap ring in the hub casing should be a piece of cake with a tiny screwdriver...the flat split ring on the end of the axle is a pain for me...putting it back on is even worse...but gets easier every time.

I use a pick set.. Use two. The straight one to pry it up, the hooked one to pull and work it around.

less than 10 bucks at Wally World.
