The hubs have two slots cut in them 180 degrees from each other.
You need to wipe all the grease out of the outboard area of the outer race in order to see them.
It will take an 8 to 10 inch punch to knock them out. A good size it 5/16 diameter.
Knock on one side twice and then the other side...
If both snap rings are removed then it is probably the aluminum housing against the steel I.D. of the hub but there is some end play in the axle shaft too.
To prove that it is not the splines on the axle shaft take a rubber hammer or regular hammer and a block of wood and gentry drive the axle...
Congradualtions, welcome to the club, and you are now "terminally ill" with the OD Green disease for which there is no hope for cure - sorry [thumbzup]
Seriously, let see some pics when you get some available. :D

Sorry, you asked a question and I forgot to come back and answer it. Went out into the sun for a few hours and played with the truck. Showed the youngest son how to pull poles out of the ground using the Deuce.
He grinned the whole time that he was behind the wheel (26 years old).
The brake...
I have used a heavy duty 40 gallon or so trashbags. The black ones designed for leaves and other yard waste are a little heavier duty. I just wrapped one around the spindle and backing plate and then secured with a little duct tape.
You can't save the bag this way but is helps in case of rain...
This is probably of absolutely no help now but here are two pictures.
Lay down on the ground on the right side of the truck with your feet pointing towards the rear axle and your head about the center of the battery box.
If you look up at the angle of my shot you will see a soft airline and an...
Since they can't use salt on the roads in your state I would think that the steel part of the lines should be good but certainly you know your truck better than anyone else does.
There are three rubber lines (hoses) on the front and I believe only one rubber line (hose) on back (x 2 axles) but...
Don't mean to "dampen your spirits" but when I pulled my wheel cylinders, 4 of the 6 could not be rebuilt without boaring oversize and installing sleeves.
I installed all 6 new cylinders.
If it would help, I can send you a brand new cylinder to replace the one that is leaking for sure and then...
O.K. Enough teasing here.
Can you show us pictures of your new O.D. Green toys? :jumpin:
What will be on the lowboy trailer when it pulls up?
jimm1009 :-D
I do not have your particular problems but believe me I understand.
Back pain is only one of the dabilitating problems that some are suffering from (me for one).
Now that you have explained more about your situation with the truck (and yourself) I'm sure that someone will chime in soon.
I wish...
This probaly a good way to go.
The kit has a triple female Y connecor in it and the light.
You may consider putting a cover on the light similar to the bright headlights as those lights are realy really bright at night when there is no cover.
Good idea. Post and let us know how it comes out...
I did actually think about doing this but 300 miles is too far to do that on all-highway. For some strange reason my better judgement kicked in [thumbzup].
I'd do it in a second if it was out int the country and I only had to go 10 miles or so but as the cajuns say; "notme, no"!
Thanks for...
There are no extra lights here.
The light below the air switch is for the front axle engagement and is standard.
The lower left light is for bright head light indicator.
The other two lights in line with each other are the night lights for the instruments and nothing else unless someone...
Does anyone know if GL has a forklift at the Hooks Texas base.
I have two M105 trailers to pick up and will probably do the flipped transport technique if I can use the forkilft or they will run the fork lift for me.
