what do I do to pull the locking part of the hub? Undo the 6 screws and then what?

Also The hub holds the wheel bearings and the locking part of the hub. What do you call the locking part?

Sorry I suck I searched
 
The 6 hex screw's , then pull the outter part. They you will need a pick or owl to get out the snap ring, that hold's the inner part. As well as snap ring plier's for the snap ring that goes around the axle shaft. get those out and the whole thing will come out. They call those lockout's . Hope that help's.

Awesome Thanks :D
 
What he said. depending on the year and make of your axle you may or may not have the small snap ring on the end of the axleshaft. Take out the 6 hex screws, then remove the small snap ring from the end of the axle shaft (if you have it), then use a pick to get the large ring out that seats around the inside of the hub. Once that is out, put the locking hub back on and insert 2 of the hex screws (on opposite ends from eachother)....just screw them in a little and pull them to remove the rest of the hub. Then use the hub socket to remove the outer locknut, then the little ring thing, then the inner locknut. The hub should just come off then. Make sure to put a clean towel or something on the ground under the hub to catch the wheel bearing that will probably fall out.

I keep picturing a large, carnivorous, night bird flying down and grabbing the snap ring.
