FMTV Hub removal CTIS Seal Help!!

Trying to get my hub off and it is stuck on. I have removed everything I can see including the small spring clip. What am I missing?

It should slide off, from what I remember when I did mine there is nothing stopping the hub from coming off from the looks of this pic.

I did get it. Double checked it all and came up with this.

I took my brake shoes off, maybe they are in the way and stiff springs are making it difficult to remove the hub. Hey, if what you did works, then run with it.

Make sure to pack the bearings good on the "dry" side of the hub, other wise the inside bearings and the outside bearings will be wet from the gear oil.

Ha yes, I did pack the rear side bearings. The bigger they are, the easier they are to load with grease. New seals are in, hub is ready to go on, and being near Seattle, hear comes the rain.... well at least it gives me time to blow out the oil on the ctis lines. Seal failure caused my hub oil to eject out the ctis exhaust

When I first got the hub apart, I was a bit confused as I thought both sides were oil bath lubed. So when the back bearing came out greasy, I had to really look at things and realized that rear were greased and sealed from the front. I wonder why they didn't just drill some oil passages from the front to the back and oil bath all the bearings? Tomorrow I will add more photos as I put it all back together so those who haven't opened up their hubs can see what's inside.

Also so I was really shocked at how loose the axle nut was.
