I have to look into this snap ring procedure some more as I don't remember reading about it.

cruiser guy said:After the free wheel hub is off you'll see the end of the stub axle with the snap ring. The stub axle has a threaded hole to use with a bolt to pull the axle out enough to get the snap ring back on.

This looks like it might be it?
(edit) Looks like we were looking for it at the same time!
The one of those hubs that came on my truck had Torx socket heads in there, NOT hex socket heads. Might try either a T-15 or a T-20 (I forget which it was) and see if they come out then.ChuckB said:Well, I thought that I was progressing along nicely until I started trying to get the hub off. I managed to remove 4 of 6 allen screws from the outer hub(just out side the "Superwinch" dial). But, 2 of them were/are stripped and in my initial efforts I cannot get them to come out.
Anyone have any ingenious methods to removed stripped bolts. The biggest problem I see is access to the area.
Here are a couple picts of the hub, and bolt.
