Removing WARN hub from F250

I bought this 1995 F250 a few years ago and it came with manual, premium hubs (I think). I need to remove it from one side and since I didn't install them I am not sure how to remove them.

I removed the cap and then a screw that held in a gear that is between the outside of the hub and axle shaft. I then removed a retaining clip that was on the end of the axle shaft and from there I was stuck. Not sure how to remove the rest of the parts.

I know this is simple, anyone?

Put the screw and the gear back in, those aren't supposed to come out or apart. You might have to play with it to get it back together correctly.

There is a small metal ring just inside the edge of the hub that needs to come out. A sharp knife tip and a small allen wrench usually work pretty well for me, but a good pick set is what you're supposed to use.

That helped, that is what I was missing. Although, I don't see how to get the hub out if I put that gear back in. I need to also remove the clip on the axle shaft to remove the hub gear assembly.

Are the bearings pressed in to the hub? I wasn't able to get all the way there because I don't have the tool that removes the special nut.

If the bearing is pressed in, I'll probably just take it to get the bearing replaced.

Thanks

The bearings are not pressed in, you just need the spindle nut socket.

Yes, both the ring and the snap-ring on the axle stub need to come off. Once you have them off, the whole hub will slide right out.
