PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you remove the big circle clip that goes inside the hub? You need a dental pick or something like that.

i don't see a c clip in there but there is so much damn grease I have spent the last 1/2 hour cleaning them out, no clip yet

It doesn't look like a clip. It looks like a piece of metal coat hanger that runs around the inside wall of the hub houseing. I use an eyeglass screwdriver and a set of needle nose pliers to get it out. You have to get something under the clip, and get it out of the gap it fits into.

Clean the grease , and run your finger from where the locking hub cover used to be on the inside of the housing it sits in toward the internal body of the hub. You should find the clip along the outside wall of near the internal part of the hub that is still in there.
