1984 Chevy 4X4 Locking Hub Question

[apchas]

Ok, so I have a GM 10 bolt. One question. When I take the cap off and look at the spline shaft it has a bronze looking busing about 1 /2 inch from the end. How do I remove it. I do not see a snap ring. Does it stay on with I put the new hub in?

I removed the old hubs (selctro) and I can not put the lock ring on. My spline shaft does not have the groove in the end of the shaft for the snap ring. My shaft has a groove cut about 1/2" to 3/4" from the end. Did I order the correct kit? Warn 20990

For future reference when checking (just the hubs) all that is needed is to jack one side at a time.put  transfercase 2wd lock hub on that side. look at axle shaft u joint verify that the axle is turning then slide a large screwdriver through the u joint to prevent axle from turning then rotate tire to insure its locked up.

i just reach behind and spin the axle shaft...no need to lift tire.

I replaced the hubs with Warn Supper Premium Hubs, Everything works good now.
