Hello, my question is how do you pull out the inner wheel bearing hub, after you remove the axlee snap ring it only moves a little but will not come out. Also now I cant move it back far enough to put the snap ring back on after attemping to pry it off no damage was done I just put 2 of the scews back in and attempted to pull it out but it didnt work, now it will not go back enough for the snap ring. Thank you

If you've taken out the snap ring, have you also taken out the 2 nuts that hold the bearing in place? There should be a nut then a locking, tabbed spacer washer, then another nut that snuggs up to the bearing. You will need a specialty socket for them. It is available at most auto parts stores for under $20. Then the hub, bearing and all will slide right off.
