Not sure what you're asking or telling here, but if you're asking how to get the axle out from here, you've gotta get the rest of that locking hub out of there first so you can access the snap ring. Once the snap ring is out, take off the caliper, rotor, etc., then take the 4 nuts off the back of the knuckle and remove the wheel/hub assembly (might take a bit of percussive persuasion ). Once that's out of the way, get a pry bar and (using the back of the axle u-joint and a solid surface) pop the axle towards the knuckle and slide the whole thing out.

Yes, you are correct. You still have some parts of the locking hub inside the wheel/hub assembly. Once you get those out the snap ring will be visible and you can disassemble according to what I just said above.

A good video reference.

Omg I did all the front end work in the middle of July during a 40c+ degree heatwave in the blistering sun and those snap rings were a nightmare!

Had to order 2 different snap ring pliers as the first pair was too short and the longer pair I had to grind down the nubs to fit into the ring holes and my hands were so sweaty I could never grip them properly lol.

Good times
