looking to get the 95’ forever on the road again and instead of a screw or snap ring holding my assembly in place it’s the tried and true lock ring. anyone have experience removing these without melting this entire hub off for the giggles? Dana 44, non solid model (forgot the name, darn scissor front ends ya know) thanks yall.

pick indicating left end of lock ring; you can see the channel it’s in nearly all the way round

 

update; doing front end suspension and brakes. got to the other side for the spring and shock and noticed a completely different hub… passenger is stock oem with screw and all spring internals. the drivers on my original post is aftermarket id presume… the fun doesn’t end. we’re on the other side of marketplace now yall.

 

Odd that someone would replace one.
