72 Blazer 4x4 Hub Disassembly (NEED ADVICE)

2 Attachment(s)

Taking apart the hub assembly on my 72 Blazer 2/4x4 and ran into an issue.
This front hub assembly is different than the Warn locker hubs I have seen. I have removed the first ring and the second locking ring, but can't figure out what to do next. Does anyone have experience with this type of assembly and can help me out with some advice. The pictures represent my sticking point and show the parts I did manage to remove. Any help would be appreciated.

That should pop out you may have to push on it or spin the hub.

I find that spinning the hub while lightly tapping the stub shaft with a hammer will loosen the lockout and get the big spring behind it to push it out.
