Matt, pulling that hub off is pretty darn quick when you know where to look. On the end of the axle shaft inside that hub, you should see a small C clip that holds the actual locking assembly in there. Knock that puppy off. Now, on the hub itself, running around the outside, you should see another C clip. Use a flat tip screwdriver and remove that. Now have fun pulling out all the guts of the locking hub. Once you get the guts out, you're going to need the hub spanner wrench. You have one of those right? I'm guessing not. Head down to Advance Auto and rent one. Probably worth buying one if you think you might be doing this again some time soon. Like to the other side. Slide that puppy in to that hub and seat it on those notches on the spindle nut, I think it is called. If'n you don't know what I am talking about, it is a round washer looking thing inside the hub with notches on it. Underneath that nut is a lock ring. A thin washer like piece with holes all around it. Slides right out, no lefty or righty. Underneath the lock ring is another spindle nut, this one with a tit on it, to engage the locking ring. Same thing, hub spanner wrench on it. Once that last nut comes off, you should be able to pull the whole hub.
This just goes to show I need to take more time AND take pics next time I do a brake job.

! Your quick instructions were awesome. That needs to be saved for a short tech tip. You nailed it on the head. My C-clip had the gap covered and it was dark last night so couldn't see it. Thank you sir!
