Welcome, James! Good to meet you.
 Where in Oregon? We have at least three other members there, as you can see on the member's map: Bullnose Forum/Member's Map. And I can add you to the map if you'd like - just give me a town/city and I'll put you on. As for the u-joints for the front axle, we just had a discussion about the Spicer part number for them here: http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Spicer-U-Joint-Part-Numbers-td21298.html. But that didn't talk about how to do it, so if you have specific questions on that subject then please let us know.

You are now on the map.
 As for the rotor, how far into that are you? I just need to know where to start in the instructions.

Sorry for the delay had to run to the parts store before I get snowed in. the pictures I include the first one label current is where the car is right now. the other two are what has been removed so far. and no I never removed another snap ring without tabs on it so ill look for that. Thanks for such quick replies you my friend are a life saver

Happy to help. That's what this forum, and the accompanying website, is for.
And, speaking of the website, I'm scanning in the section on the Front Drive Axle as I type.

So I can't seem to find the snap ring that you are talking about. is it in the outer groove or is it around the axle shaft itself?
I have installed two of the bolts from the cap in the holes to see if I could pull it out and it maybe moves 1/32 if an inch so something is till holding it in

My problem is that I have the hubs apart and on the bench, so how they came apart is well in the past. But that is something I'm working on. In the interim, here's the lock ring I'm talking about. Do you have it out?
And, by the way, to post pics click the Insert Image button above, then Choose File and then Insert Image. But if it comes back saying the pic is too big, and the limit is 1Mb, then just click Big Size and Insert Image.
