So I pulled the left hub and wheel bearings a few days ago. The hub is in pretty rough shape from someone setting up the wheel bearings with a chisel. That caused the o-ring on the locking hub not to seal, allowing water to enter, and rust to grow. After a lot of wire wheeling I think I can save it, but will need need to do some burr work and a secondary seal option.
So now into the fun stuff. Before you remove these 6 nuts, go buy LOTS of shop towels. First you remove the inner snap ring(You had to remove the outer one to remove the inner part of the locking hub), then remove the nuts.
The backing plate will slide off, then grab the spindle and it will slide off too.
Don't drop the stub axle, once it pivots it will fall out.
Welcome to the lots of towels part. I just slid the stub axle into the spindle and stored it in a safe place that I wouldn't be upset about the mess.
At this point it was dinner time, or any other excuse to not start cleaning that mess out.
