Did you take out the lock nuts that hold the wheels bearings in?If not you'll be pulling pretty hard to get that apart.

I cant get to the lock nut... the actual little clutch assembly wont come out. any tricks? I already have all the little circlips and c clips out. the chiltons manual doesnt really have much information on it.

miesk5 has a lot of links on this page. At least one has a good break out diagram on page 121.

All you need to do is miss one locking clip and you're sunk.

Make sure you have the large snap ring out, this one is on the inside diameter of the hub, then take two of the allen/hex bolts thread them in and wiggle it loose, it should come out.
