disassembling front hub problems

84 f250 w/ 460 that has manual locking front differential. pretty sure its got a bad wheel bearing on the front and im trying to disassemble it. i've got all of it off down to the snap ring. from what i can see, the snap ring around the axle shaft is the last thing holding the hub assembly in place. It feel like there is still something holding it back from coming out like another snap ring or retaining ring or something. any ideas or suggestions?

There are two snap rings- One that holds the guts of the hub in that is around the inside of the housing body, and the one on the axle shaft.
To get the outer one out, push in the hub a little bit, and then get behind it with a pic.
You can see the outer ring here:
